Definition of fracture
Types of fracture
1. Definition
Note : A failure criterion is needed to predict the safety limits of a material's use under
combined stresses.
Failure occurs when ̅ , where is the failure strength of the material. Failure is
not expected if ̅ is less than
Cinematic criteria
Strength criteria :
- Sudden static failure (brittle elastic behavior)
- Excess plastic deformation
- Fatigue failure
- Creep
- Collapse
- etc ...
1.2. Failure mode
2. Failure by yielding
2.1. Use of fracture mechanics in design
Two approaches are used for the design of structures. The first one, the most classical
one, is based on the material yield strength σ_E, while the second one is based on the
concept of toughness from linear fracture mechanics.
In the first case, structures are sized so that the applied stresses σ remain below the
yield strength (σ < σ_E). A safety factor is usually introduced to prevent any risk of
brittle failure : (σ < α σ_E, with α <1).
With
G : energy restitution rate
E : Young's modulus
a : length
: means the critical value of the energy obtained for the
applied stress
: the critical defect length at which the rupture occurs
2.3. Criteria to consider for the design of a structure
The 3 most common modes of failure encountered in the design of a structure by means
of admissible stresses are :
An example of this

3. Creep
Stages of creep failure in materials
Creep failure occurs in three different stages in materials when they are subjected to
their creep temperature. In these creep stages, the material gradually loses its strength
and forms creep voids. These creep voids under additional load will propagate into
creep-induced cracks.
- Primary creep : a rapid increase in length where the rate of creep decreases as
the metal work hardens.
- Secondary creep (steady state) : Secondary stage creep is also called steady
state on the creep curve. The creep rate here is almost flat. The secondary creep
stage is the longest on the time graph to occur compared to the other creep
stages.
- Tertiary Creep : This occurs when the creep life is nearly exhausted, voids have
formed in the material and the effective cross-sectional area has been reduced.
The rate of creep accelerates as the stress per unit area increases until the
specimen eventually fails.
- That resulting from negligence in the design, construction or use of the structure,
- That related to the use of a new material or a new process, which can cause an
unexpected failure.
For a test under monotonic loading of a single tensile specimen, different types of failure
modes can be distinguished :
In short : the failures are also made according to the materials as for example the fragile
materials, plastics, elastoplastics, viscoplastics, etc...
4.3. Diagnosis
Risk
Risk = probability of failure × consequences
Individual risk : The reference is usually the annual probability of accidental death or
injury.
Societal risk : The reference is usually the expected average number of deaths per year.
Pf = 1 - reliability; this is the probability that the failure function Z will become negative
or zero during a reference period chosen for estimation.

An equipment in operation for a total time TT = 2083 days, has been subject to P = 5
failures causing it to be taken out of service for repair for a total repair time TRT = 3
days.
