Analysis of the Crack Initiation and Growth in Crystalline Materials Using Discrete Dislocations and the Modified Kitagawa–Takahashi Diagram

Crack growth kinetics in crystalline materials is examined both from the point of continuum mechanics and discrete dislocation dynamics. Kinetics ranging from the Griffith crack to continuous elastic-plastic cracks are analyzed. Initiation and propagation of incipient cracks require very high stress...
