2 D Crack Parametric Formula

The document summarizes an analysis of edge cracks in finite width sheets subjected to uniaxial tensile stress without bending constraints. Several sheet specimens of different sizes were created to model the crack and boundary conditions matching published data. A 200 x 400 mm sheet with a 50 mm crack was analyzed, giving a stress intensity factor of 3758.98 MPa m1/2 by equation and 3767.2 MPa m1/2 using finite element analysis in Abaqus. The results closely matched, validating the model and equation for stress intensity factor.

2D CRACKS SPECIMEN MODEL Edge Crack in a Finite Width Sheet: Uniaxial Tensile Stress With Tensile Stress Without

Bending Constrains. The published data of this kind of crack are take from Stress intensity factors book and shows the results for KI as a polynomial in a/b which is accurate to within 1% for all h/b 1.0 and a/b 0.6; it is

(1) Where K0 is the stress intensity factor for an isolated crack of length 2a in a sheet subjected to a uniform stress , and is given by

To develop this analysis several sheets of different sizes created. To analyse the crack some boundary conditions have to be assumed, create the same conditions as the published data. The conditions assumed to perform tests are: Uniform tensile stress of 200 MPa perpendicular to the crack length Common engineering material with Youngs Modulus E=200 GPa and Poissons ratio =0.3.
