This study also had implications for dynamic crack propagation in composite materials.

His theory described the behavior of crack propagation of an elliptical nature by considering the energy involved.

The rest (90 percent) of life is spent in crack propagation.

The basic theory of crack propagation is again due to A. A. Griffith.

One effect that can cause crack propagation is the presence of water and other liquids.

One is rupture of the vessel, normally by crack propagation.

Stable crack propagation will follow the appearance of a local failure.

This further reduces the chance of cleavage, because these boundaries impede crack propagation.

The system monitors changes in the current response that results from the exposure of fresh steel during crack propagation.

Microscopic material failure is defined in terms of crack propagation and initiation.
