Gradient enriched linear-elastic crack tip stresses to estimate the static strength of cracked engineering ceramics

According to Gradient Mechanics (GM), stress fields have to be determined by directly incorporating into the stress analysis a length scale which that takes into account the material microstructural features. This peculiar modus operandi results in stress fields in the vicinity of sharp cracks whic...
