Determination of stress intensity factors

  • Chapter
Elementary engineering fracture mechanics

  • 1984 Accesses

Abstract

The application of fracture mechanics principles bears largely upon the stress intensity factor. An essential part of the solution of a fracture problem in linear elastic fracture mechanics is the establishment of the stress intensity factor for the crack problem under consideration. Since the introduction of fracture mechanics much effort has been put into the derivation of stress intensity factors, and a variety of methods have been developed to approach the problem.
