The Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook

In a convenient hardcover format this extensive source of crack stress analysis has been brought up-to-date with the addition of 150 new pages of analysis and information. The book is an excellent reference, as well as a text for in-house training courses, in various industrial and academic settings. CONTENTS INCLUDE: Introductory Information: Crack-tip stress fields for linear-elastics bodies Alternate expressions for crack-tip elastic fields Energy rate analysis of crack extension Stress analysis results for common test specimen configurations: The center cracked test specimen The single edge notch test specimen Other common specimen configurations Two-dimensional stress solutions for various configurations with cracks: A finite crack in an infinite plane A periodic array of cracks in an infinite plane Opposing parallel semi-infinite cracks in an infinite plane A semi-infinite crack parallel to edges of an infinite strip Three-dimensional cracked configurations: An embedded circular crack in an infinite body A half-circular surface crack in a semi-infinite body Strip yield model solutions: Three-dimensional strip yielding solutions A circumferential crack in a cylindrical shell A crack in a spherical shell
