Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

statistical fracture mechanics
Abstract (eng): Modelling brittle fracture is a difficult task due to large scatter of the fracture toughness.
The fracture toughness depends on the position of the individual particle relative to the crack tip.
Therefore, the critical stress level incurring the failure is impossible to determine exactly.
The statistical fracture mechanics is a means to treat statistical phenomenon such as cleavage.

Beremin introduced a local approach method to model brittle fracture.
The Beremin model is based on the probability of finding micro cracks which cause the cleavage initiation and failure.
Bordet et al. developed a more advanced local approach method that takes account of the probability of the initiation and the propagation.
Both of these models contain material parameters that need calibration.

The goal of this work is to implement the Bordet statistical model for cleavage in Matlab.
The parameters of the model are calibrated in the temperature of -155 °C using the Master Curve.
The Master Curve is also used to verify the implementation.
The implementation is compared to the Beremin model as well.
Specimen shape and size are constant in these comparisons.
The results indicate that the Bordet model produces failure probabilities similar to the Master Curve while being more stable than the Beremin model.
