Elastic - Plastic Fracture Mechanics. A Critical Review. Part 1

Abstract

This document reviews the history and current state-of-the-art in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics as applied to welded steel structures. Fundamental concepts and underlying assumptions are described. Standardized test methods and recent developments are reviewed. The results of a parametric study comparing several elastic-plastic design analyses are presented.
