Fracture mechanics

toughening by mechanisms behind or around a crack tip, such as bridging or closure, that lower the local driving force rather than raise intrinsic resistance.

In fracture mechanics, crack tip shielding refers to toughening by mechanisms behind or around a crack tip, such as bridging or closure, that lower the local driving force rather than raise intrinsic resistance. This meaning comes from Ritchie (1988) in Materials Science and Engineering: A.[1]
