3. Closing remarks

In the matter of painting and fracture mechanics, a link is established in this paper between the curling of cementite and the painting by Vincent van Gogh, whereas the planar cementite is linked to the classical painting by Raffaello, Tintoretto or Velázquez. Fracture behaviour of cold drawn pearlitic steel resembles the painting by Masaccio if notched samples are used; in the case of cracked specimens (with deflected polygonal cracks, mixed mode propagation and sudden changes in crack paths), the fracture path clearly resembles the cubist painting by Pablo Picasso and the rayonist painting by Mijail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova. Furthermore, the deflection angle of 90º resembles Mantegna’s Dead Christ Perspective (MDCP). The approach between art and science developed in this paper is the result of the kind and warm support provided by prominent scientists in the field of fracture mechanics and structural integrity who organized relevant scientific conferences during which this sort of mixed (art & science) papers were presented, mostly in the form of Invited Keynote and Plenary Lectures.

In Memoriam

The paper is dedicated to the memory of Professors Dominique Francois and Keith Miller, masters and friends, whose enthusiastic and forward-looking action allowed the development of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS), formerly the European Group on Fracture (EGF). The paper is also dedicated to the memory of Professor Dr. Robert Goldstein, master and friend, and founder of Russian fracture mechanics.
