Abstract
Solution for a normally loaded infinite isotropic plate containing five cracks with coalesced yield zones is obtained using a complex variable method. Influence of coalesced yield zones on the load bearing capability of the infinite plate is analyzed. Analytical expressions for stress intensity factors, displacement components and crack opening displacement (COD) are obtained. Numerical study is carried out to determine the yield zone length, applied load ratio and COD. The numerical results are reported graphically between some important parameters.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Solid Mechanics (ESM) is an online international journal for publishing high quality peer reviewed papers in the field of theoretical and applied solid mechanics. The primary focus is to exchange ideas about investigating behavior and properties of engineering materials (such as metals, composites, ceramics, polymers, FGMs, rocks and concretes, asphalt mixtures, bio and nano materials) and their mechanical characterization (including strength and deformation behavior, fatigue and fracture, stress measurements, etc.) through experimental, theoretical and numerical research studies. Researchers and practitioners (from deferent areas such as mechanical and manufacturing, aerospace, railway, bio-mechanics, civil and mining, materials and metallurgy, oil, gas and petroleum industries, pipeline, marine and offshore sectors) are encouraged to submit their original, unpublished contributions.
