...Abstract Abstract Three-Dimensional (3D) CAD models are utilized by many designers; however, they are rarely utilized to their full potential. The current mainstream method of design process and communication is through design documentation. They are limited in depth of information...

... the critical step in inducing fracture. Under these circumstances, brittle fracture is essentially stress-controlled, and several models use this as a basis for failure prediction. Fracture toughness data from a series of MnMoNi steels are presented, together with observations of fracture initiation sites...
