Description
Summary:Three-dimensional elasticity problems of plane tensile crack elongated along the plane curve are considered. The asymptotic solution of the problems is obtained by the method of outer and inner expansions applied directly to the two-dimensional integro-differential equation for the displacement of crack surface points. The formulas for crack opening and distributions of stress intensity factors are derived for various crack forms. Some estimates are found of the stress intensity factor in the small neighborhoods of ends of the curve along which the crack extends and where the above mentioned asymptotic formulas do not hold. Comparison of obtained results with known analytical and numerical solutions demonstrates the high efficiency of the formulas. (Author)
