The Distribution of Stress in the Neighbourhood of a Crack in an Elastic Solid
TLDR
In this paper, the distribution of stress produced in the interior of an elastic solid by the opening of an internal crack under the action of pressure applied to its surface is considered, and the conditions for rupture are deduced.Abstract:
The distribution of stress produced in the interior of an elastic solid by the opening of an internal crack under the action of pressure applied to its surface is considered. The analysis is given for 'Griffith' cracks (section 2) and for circular cracks (section 3), it being assumed in the latter case that the applied pressure varies over the surface of the crack. For both types of crack the case in which the pressure is constant over the entire crack surface is considered in some detail, the stress components being tabulated and the distribution of stress shown graphically. The effect of a crack (of either type) on the stress produced in an elastic body by a uniform tensile stress is considered and the conditions for rupture deduced.read more

The mathematical theory of equilibrium cracks in brittle fracture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a unified view of the way basic problems in the theory of equilibrium cracks are formulated and discuss the results obtained thereby, and the object of the theory is the study of the equilibrium of solids in the presence of cracks.

Computer simulation of hydraulic fractures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief historical background of the development of hydraulic fracturing models for use in the petroleum and other industries, and discuss scaling laws and propagation regimes that control the growth of hydraulic fractures from the laboratory to the field scale.

A stiffness derivative finite element technique for determination of crack tip stress intensity factors
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element technique for determination of elastic crack tip stress intensity factors is presented, based on the energy release rate, and the solution for only a single crack length is required, where the crack is 'advanced' by moving nodal points rather than by removing nodal tractions at the crack tip and performing a second analysis.
