Mixed mode crack initiation and direction in beams with edge crack

The S-theory is applied to determine crack initiation and direction for beams with edge crack. A simple method for obtaining approximate stress intensity factors of straight cracked beams is also proposed. It takes into account the elastic crack tip stress singularity while using the elementary beam...

Description
Summary:The S-theory is applied to determine crack initiation and direction for beams with edge crack. A simple method for obtaining approximate stress intensity factors of straight cracked beams is also proposed. It takes into account the elastic crack tip stress singularity while using the elementary beam theory. The results are in reasonable agreement with the more accurate calculations.
