Stress-intensity factors for a wide range of semi-elliptical surface cracks in finite-thickness plates

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the stress-intensity factors for shallow and deep semi-elliptical surface cracks in plates subjected to tension and verified the accuracy of the three-dimensional finite-element models employed.

Recent developments in brittle and quasi-brittle failure assessment of engineering materials by means of local approaches

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of some local approaches applicable near stress raisers both sharp and blunt V-notches, which has been recently applied to assess the brittle failure of a large number of materials.

Stress-intensity factor equations for cracks in three-dimensional finite bodies

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress intensity factors used to develop the equations were obtained from three dimensional finite element analyses of these crack configurations, where the plates were subjected to remote tensile loading.

On crack-tip stress state: An experimental evaluation of three-dimensional effects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the extent of the crack-tip stress field using reflected and transmitted caustics and found that plane-stress conditions prevail at distances from the crack tip greater than half the specimen thickness, while no significant plane-strain region is detected.

On the Stress Distribution at the Base of a Stationary Crack

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at the base of the crack in the direction of its prolongation, the principal stresses are equal, thus tending toward a two-dimensional (two-dimensional) hydrostatic tension.
