Zusammenfassung: | The line-spring model for the analysis of surface cracks is discussed in this paper. The complementary energy method [J. Press. Vess. Technol.108, 305 (1986)] is extended to derive the fully plastic solutions of a single edge cracked plate in combinations of tension and bending. A simple method is proposed to specify the undetermined factors in complementary energy by making use of Shih's [J. appl. Mech.51, 48 (1984)] finite element results. The obtained fully plastic solutions are in a quasi-analytic form, and suitable for arbitrary combinations of tension and bending. Finally, the present line-spring model is incorporated into a plate-shell finite element code, and the semi-elliptical surface cracked plates in tension are analyzed. The estimated stress intensity factors and J-integral are in keeping with those of three-dimensional finite element analysis. |
