Abstract
The brittle failure behavior of a solid containing a Penny-shaped crack and subjected to mode I loading conditions is investigated. The analysis is performed in a semi-analytical way by implementing different approaches: the coupled criterion of Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) and the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). Results are compared in terms of the failure stress and the crack advance/process zone.
