Abstract:The integral solutions for an axisymmetrical crack propagating at arbitrary speed in an infinite elastic solid are obtained as sums of associated static solutions and stress-waves integrals. For a circular crack running at a constant speed, exact dynamic solutions for crack shape and stress distribution with singularities in the crack plane are obtained in closed forms easily comparable to associated static solutions. The dynamic solution reduces to the static solution at zero crack speed and deviates at speed… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
