LEFMtilnæringen
LEFMtilnæringen refers to a methodological approach used in structural analysis, specifically within the framework of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). This approach focuses on the behavior of materials containing cracks under stress, assuming that the material behaves elastically and that crack growth is the primary failure mechanism. LEFMtilnæringen is characterized by its use of stress intensity factors (K) to quantify the severity of a crack. These factors depend on the applied stress, the size and shape of the crack, and the geometry of the component.
The core principle of LEFMtilnæringen is the concept of a critical stress intensity factor, denoted as Kc.
Applications of LEFMtilnæringen are widespread in engineering, including aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering. It is crucial
