Explore: Crack Bridging

the matrix and crack bridging based on solutions by Tada. This model can predict behavior for small-scale bridging (bridge length << crack length) under

mechanisms such as crack bridging (by collagen fibers, or by un-cracked "ligaments"), crack deflection, and micro-cracking. Crack bridging by un-cracked ligaments

that discourages further cracking. These second phase bridges essentially pin the crack to discourage its extension. Crack bridging can be used to improve

sufficiently low, the crack can no longer propagate along the fiber direction and must switch to crack bridging. This mode involves the crack changing direction

grains. AGG derived microstructures exhibit toughening due to crack bridging and crack deflection by the elongated grains, which can be considered as

fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with

because sutures prevent crack propagation.  Under load, cracks interact with the sutures which can resist crack growth via crack bridging. This phenomenon was

of the bridge was not compromised and that there were no safety concerns raised by the presence of the crack. FIGG also insisted that no crack repairs
