Abstract
The expression for the strain energy of a plate with an elliptical hole has been derived using the Inglis solution, in an attempt to trace the missing details between the Griffith Solutions of 1921 and 1924. The results obtained permit, to a first approximation, the evaluation of the finite width effect on the stress-intensity factor of a cracked plate.
Résumé
On calcule l'énergie de déformation d'une plaque ayant un trou elliptique en utilisant la solution d'Inglis, en vue de tenter de reconsituer les détails manquant entre les deux solutions de Griffith de 1921 et 1924. Les résultats obtenus permettent de prévoir à une première approximation, les effets de la largeur finie sur le facteur d'intensité des contraintes d'une plaque fissurée.
