THE THICKNESS EFFECT AND PLASTIC FLOW IN CRACKED PLATES.
Abstract
In structure having high strength/weight ratios, the presence of material or mechanical imperfections can reduce the capability of the structure to perform as intended. Although large flaws can be detected and repaired, the possibility of smaller ones which might trigger fracture must be taken into account. Integrity of the overall structure therefore rests upon the ability to predict that size and geometry which can become critical when subjected to design stresses. (Author)
