TLDR
In this paper, a total deformation theory of plasticity, in conjunction with two hardening stress-strain relations, is used to determine the dominant singularity at the tip of a crack in a tension field.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.read more

A theory for stable crack extension rates in ductile materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for the growth of cracks in ductile materials is presented based on a kinetic law for the crack tip velocity v and a realistic real-time flow rate law for material non-elastic deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical aspects of fracture mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the dominant singular near crack tip stress field can often be parametrised in terms of three parameters K1, KII and KIII designating three fracture modes each having an angular variation entirely specified for the stress tensor and displacement vector.

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.
