The Nonlinear and Biaxial Effects on Energy RElease Rate, J-Integral, and Stress Intensity Factor,

Abstract

A nonlinear finite element analysis is performed for a finite center-cracked specimen subjected to biaxial loading. A Ramberg-Osgood type stress-strain relation is used to characterize the material property. It is found that the energy release rate, J-integral, stress intensity factor, strain intensity factor depend not only on applied stress perpendicular to the crack but also on applied stress parallel to the crack. Biaxial effects on fracture toughness parameters increase as applied stress increases. The coupling between biaxial effects and material nonlinearity has been indicated. (Author)
