Stress Intensity Factor of Mode III Cracks in Thin Sheets (1010.2924v3)
Published 14 Oct 2010 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci
Abstract: The stress field at the tip of a crack of a thin plate of elastic material that is broken due to a mode III shear tearing has a universal form with a non-universal amplitude, known as the stress intensity factor, which depends on the crack length and the boundary conditions. We present in this paper exact analytic results for this stress intensity factor, thus enriching the small number of exact results that can be obtained within Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM).
