Some Calculations on the Stress Distribution in an Infinite Sheet with a SingleCrack and with Periodic Collinear Cracks

摘要

In view of the possible occurrence of crack edge buckling in tension loadedsheets with a central crack, some calculations were made on the stress distribution around a central crack. This has been done for a single crack and for periodic collinear cracks. The latter case was explored to obtain an impression on width effects. Elastic behavior is assumed without crack edge buckling. A comparison is made with boundary element calculation results from the literature.
