INFLUENCE OF BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON HIGHER ORDER TERMS OF NEAR-CRACK-TIP STRESS FIELD IN A WST SPECIMEN
 Veselý, V. ; Šestáková, L. ; Seitl, Stanislav
A precise description of the stress and deformation fields in a cracked body is provided using multi-parameter fracture mechanics based on the approximation of the fields by means of the Williams' power series. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the stress field in a wedge-splitting test geometry specimen aimed at the calculation of coefficients of the higher order terms (up to 14) of the Williams' expansion. The numerical study is conducted with the use of a conventional finite element package; however, for processing of the results an over-deterministic method is employed. Special attention is paid to the influence of boundary conditions of the test geometry on the values of the coefficients of the higher order terms of the Williams' series. The results are compared to data from the literature; a strong effect of the boundary conditions is observed.

Fracture Analysis of Cube- and Cylinder-shaped WST Specimens Made of Cementitious Composites with Various Characteristic Length
 Řoutil, L. ; Veselý, V. ; Seitl, Stanislav
The paper is focused on finding reasonable proportions for both cube-shaped and cylinder-shaped silicate-based composite specimens subjected to wedge-splitting tests. The analysis is conducted using finite element method code with an implemented cohesive crack model. The aspect of the material's brittleness, related to the heterogeneity of the material and described by what is termed as the characteristic length of quasi-brittle material, is accented. The results yield some recommendations for the determination of parameters of nonlinear fracture models for cementitious composites by means of wedge splitting tests of laboratory specimens of the two standard shapes.
