WP, and thus G, can be evaluated for different loading
conditions This definition is valid for both linear and
nonlinear elastic deformation of the body G is a function
of the load (or displacement) and crack length It is
independent of the boundary conditions, in particular
whether the loading is fixed-displacement or fixed-load

Trang 3Modes of Fracture
The three basic modes of separation of the crack
surfaces (modes of fracture) are depicted below:
Combinations of modes (mixed-mode loading) are
also possible

separate in a direction normal to the plane of the crack The displacements are symmetric with respect to
the x – z and x – y planes.
are mutually sheared in a direction normal to the
crack front The displacements are symmetric with
respect to the x – y plane and anti-symmetric with
respect to the x – z plane.

crack faces are sheared parallel to the crack front The displacements are antisymmetric with respect
to the x – y and x – z planes
to the x – y and x – z planes
The crack face displacements in modes II and III find an analogy to the motion of edge dislocations and screw dislocations, respectively

The preceding analysis considered fracture from an energy standpoint We now carry out a linear elastic stress analysis of the cracked body, which will
allow us to formulate critical conditions for the
allow us to formulate critical conditions for the
growth of flaws more precisely An analysis of this
type falls within the field of Linear Elastic
Fracture Mechanics (LEFM).
Trang 7We consider a semi-infinite crack in an infinite plate
of an isotropic and homogeneous solid as shown below:
Our goal is to develop expressions for the stresses,
strains and displacements around the crack tip
