Abstract Scope |
Interface failure is a common cause for functionality break down in heterogenous structures. This is driven by elastic and plastic material properties as well as differences in thermal expansion between the neighboring materials. In order to improve material performance and design damage tolerant components and systems, it is crucial to study the highly localized deformation and crack initiation processes at interfaces, both experimentally as well as numerically.
Therefore, in the present work we utilize high-resolution in-situ SEM micromechanical testing methods in conjunction with advanced fracture modelling concepts in order to test and assess the local crack driving forces. Moreover, we can directly relate the predicted to the observed crack path with respect to the interface.
Based on this, we suggest novel strategies for testing and analyzing local crack propagation along interfaces between stiff/compliant and strong/soft material combinations. |
