A novel method for obtaining the multiaxiality constant for damage mechanics which is appropriate to crack tip conditions
Many engineering components, such as power plant steam pipes, aero-engine turbine discs, etc, operate under severe loading/temperature conditions for the majority of their service life. As a result, cracks can initiate and subsequently propagate over time due to creep. Damage mechanics is a robust m...
