AUGMENTED DOUBLE CANTILEVER BEAM MODEL FOR STUDYING CRACK PROPAGATION AND ARREST

An improved analytical model for the double cantilever beam fracture specimen is developed by treating a finite length beam which is partly free and partly supported by an elastic foundation. The results obtained are shown to be in excellent agreement with established data for initial crack extension. Some preliminary computational results for unstable crack propagation are also presented.
