REVIEW OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRESS PROBLEM FOR A CRACKED PLATE

An analytical study has been carried out to examine the influence of plate thickness on the stress distribution around the crack. The stress-intensity factor, which varies in the thickness direction, is shown to be a function of the ratio of plate thickness to crack length and is found to increase rapidly in magnitude as the plate thickness is perturbed slightly from zero. The outlined in paper analysis suggests a method by which the effect of a finite plate thickness can be incorporated into an examination of the fracture toughness of cracked sheet specimens.
