Abstract
The fracture of solids is analyzed using the formalism of equilibrium mechanics. A partially cracked, mechanically loaded reversible system is considered. A stability criteria is formulated. The equilibrium theory is valid for non-linear load deflection relationships and is applied to linear elastic fracture mechanics, the Hertz test and J IC tests.
Résumé
La rupture des solides est analysée en utilisant le formalisme de la mécanique de l'équilibre. On considère un système partiellement fissuré réversible et chargé mécaniquement. On formule un critère de stabilité. La théorie de l'équilibre est valide pour des relations non linéaires charge déflection et est appliquée à la mécanique de la rupture élastique, à l'essai de Hertz et aux essais J IC.
