Fracture Analysis of Crack Propagation Using Different Materials on Three Crack Modes of Failure

Abstract

In this thesis, the fracture mechanics of crack propagation using different materials Titanium, Nickel Alloy 718, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer is investigated for three modes of failure in a rectangular block. Fracture, Static analyses are done on all the three modes of failure to determine displacements, stresses, stress intensity factors, and vibrations. 3D modeling is done in Creo 2.0 and analysis is done in Ansys.
