On the Corner Singularity of a 3-D Griffith Crack.

Abstract

This report discusses some further developments of an analytical solution to the 3-D Griffith crack problem. The analysis shows the stresses at the corner points to be singular of the order (1/2 + 2 nu). Moreover, the stress boundary conditions at the plate faces are shown to be proportional to (h-z), at the upper face, and to (h+z), at the lower face. Originator-supplied keywords included: Three-dimensional Griffith crack, Linear elastic fracture mechanics, Three-dimensional stress singularities.
