THE EFFECT OF INTERNAL CRACKS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF STRESS IN THIN ELASTIC STRIPS AND CYLINDERS

Abstract

The work done by the author and three collaborators R. P. Srivastav, R. J. Tait and J. L. Welch in the University of Glasgow during the preceding year is discussed in some detail. A discussion of the two-dimensional problem of determining distribution of stress in a very long strip of uniform width 2c which has a Griffith crack of length 2a situated symmetrically in its interior. The stress field is supposed to be set up by the application of a known pressure to the inner surfaces of the crack. The equations of plane strain are used throughout (but the plane stress case can be derived by a trivial change in the values of the elastic constants). Two different kinds of boundary value problem are considered.
