THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELASTIC STRESS ANALYSIS OF A FRACTURE SPECIMEN WITH AN EDGE CRACK

A numerical stress analysis of an elastic three-dimensional specimen similar to the compact tension specimen used in fracture investigations is presented. The numerical results are achieved using singular integral equations which are analogous to Green's boundary formula in potential theory. The analysis yields details of the stresses near the crack tip and clearly shows their three-dimensional character. Some results are also given to indicate the influence of thickness and Poisson's ratio on the stresses.
