- Abstract
- The use of mechanoluminescence (ML) has enabled a new technique for the determination of the mode I stress intensity factor (SIF) in SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ (SAO). The stress rate fields and its cumulative isostress contour patterns in terms of ML in the vicinity of a crack tip during compact tension were evaluated based on the two different stress criteria of the hydrostatic and deviator in triggering the trap-releasing processes of the ML mechanism. The magnitude and shape of the crack tip stress field predicted by the deviator stress criterion rather than by the hydrostatic stress criterion showed good agreement with the experimental ML evidence in a determination of the SIF from the ML intensity. The analysis derived from the deviator stress criteria not only allowed the possibility of characterizing the fracture toughness in a range of modes under static and dynamic crack propagation, but also provided a better understanding of the ML mechanism of the trap-releasing process in SAO.
