Abstract
D istributions of stress occurring at the tip of a crack in a tension field are presented for both plane stress and plane strain. A total deformation theory of plasticity, in conjunction with two hardening stress-strain relations, is used. For applied stress sufficiently low such that the plastic zone is very small relative to the crack length, the dominant singularity can be completely determined with the aid of a path-independent line integral recently given by rice (1967). The amplitude of the tensile stress singularity ahead of the crack is found to be larger in plane strain than in plane stress.

Extended investigation of the test specimen thickness (TST) effect on the fracture toughness (Jc) of a material in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature region as a difference in the crack tip constraint − What is the loss of constraint in the TST effects on Jc?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated several well-known constraint parameters to determine their correlations with the TST effect and the bounded nature of Jc for increasing TST in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature region.

Study of creep relaxation under combined mechanical and residual stresses

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic and elastic-plastic creep behavior of cracked structures in the presence of residual stress has been studied numerically and the residual stress is introduced by prior mechanical loading and mechanical stress levels are varied to evaluate the transient crack tip parameter, C(t), in single edge notch bend and tension specimens, using the finite element (FE) method.

A crack at the interface between an elastic-perfectly plastic solid and a rigid substrate

TL;DR: In this article, a one-parameter family of asymptotic near-tip stress fields for the case of a stationary and quasi-statically growing case under the condition of plane strain was presented.

The mathematical theory of plasticity

Rodney Hill
TL;DR: In this paper, the solution of two-dimensional non-steady motion problems in two dimensions is studied. But the solution is not a solution to the problem in three dimensions.

Local yielding and extension of a crack under plane stress

TL;DR: In this article, the size of locally yielded regions, the stress distribution, and displacements attending a crack in tension under plane stress have been calculated by extending the work of Dugdale and others.

Contained plastic deformation near cracks and notches under longitudinal shear

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact linear elastic-perfectly plastic solution for the problem of sharp notch (or, when the notch angle is zero, a crack) in a plane of finite width subjected to anti-plane stresses inducing a stress and deformation state of longitudinal shear is presented.
