Abstract: This paper presents theoretical studies on the effect of plastic deformation on the strain energy release rate, G, of a plate under uniaxial tension with a central propagating crack. The linear ...

Abstract: This paper presents theoretical studies on the axial rigidities in strips with circular and elliptical perforations and subjected to uniaxial tension. Greenspan’s original derivations on these ...

Abstract: An exact elastic-plastic solution for the stresses in an infinite sheet having a circular hole subject to pressure is obtained on the basis of J2 deformation theory together with a modified ...

Abstract: An improved theory is proposed for the crack-growth analysis of cyclic-loaded structures. The theory assumes that the crack tip stress-intensity-factor range, ΔK, is the controlling variable for ...
