simplified procedure to calcualte Fracture parameter SIF

Submitted by Jabar on

Hi All

 

the stress intensity factor SIF of crack in the fIG. A attached has two components: for tension and shear

the SIF formula of this specimens derived in the literature and tabulated for different angles and crack length.

 

Is there a way to define the SIF of this specimen in term that one of crack perpendicular on the load (straight horizontal crack) in Fig. B

your comments will be helpful

I checked the main idea I had and its work

similar to the formula of the line crack, the 2 components of SIF are computed 

For K-1=F1*σ√(a*∏)cos^(β) 

the hole effect is known for mode-I (Bowie, Norman, Hsu, etc..)

F1 for each angle is normalised by the ratio of the concentration factor at each angle (see Paterson-Book), for example, F-1 for(β-60)= Kt-(β-60)/Kt-(β-90)

 

For shear component, the SIF for each angle is the always (2*K11) where KII is the stress intensity factor for β-45

 

Thanks
