Analysis of Transient Strains Surrounding Running Cracks in Metal and Plastic Plates.

Abstract

The objective of this research program is to investigate experimentally the transient strain and stress distribution in the vicinity of a running crack in engineering materials. The elasto-dynamic state of stresses in the neighborhood of a rapidly running crack tip was determined experimentally for developing relations between the dynamic stress intensity factors under opening mode and mixed-mode loadings. Originator supplied keywords include: Dynamic photoelasticity; dynamic moire crack curving; Crack branching.
