Crack tip singular fields in ductile crystals with Taylor power-law hardening. II: Plane strain (Q750214): Difference between revisions

A solution of the HRR type for the near-tip field of tensile loaded cracks in strain hardening single crystals is presented, with the assumption that there is a power-law relation between stress and strain. The analogous anti-plane shear case was presented in Part I [ibid. 36, No.2, 189-214 (1988; Zbl 0634.73033)]. The general form of the solution governing the field is derived, and is applied to the same two cases of the second author [Mech. Mater. 6, 714ff. (1987)] for stationary cracks in fcc crystals. The present solution procedure may be applied to any other crack and crystal orientation compatible with plane strain deformation through proper choice of parameter sets related to that orientation when assembling the sectors.
