Reasons for such behaviour are bridging effects between opposite crack surfaces, phase transformations around the tip of a crack, and development of micro-cracking zones. This booklet predominantly deals with the bridging behaviour and the discussion of the observed effects in terms of the fracture mechanics weight function procedure UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783866448360 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/54562 ER -
