Crack Propagation

Crack Propagation is a mechanical process in fracture mechanics whereby a pre-existing flaw or crack in a material progressively extends under applied stress, distinguished from other damage mechanisms by its dependence on stress intensity factors and energy release rates at the crack tip.
