AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE STRESS-FIELD SINGULARITY AT THE MOUTH OF A SURFACE-BREAKING CRACK

Two-dimensional elastic stress field behaviour near the mouth of a surface crack in an isotropic half-plane is examined. It is shown that a dislocation density simulating the crack opening and consequently the stress field has a singularity at the point in question. The type of singularity is determ...
