Abstract

The method of calculating the stress intensity factor (SIF) and the crack opening displacement (COD) for double edge cracks in plates under arbitrary loadings that results in solving a system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations is presented. The improved D-M model is then constructed for edge cracked plates by considering the yielding at the back side. For the cases of tension and bending, the plastic zone sizes and the crack opening displacements are calculated from the improved model solution, and the envelopes for the beginning of backside yielding and ligament yielding are obtained. The numerical results are compared with known solutions which take no account of the yielding at the back side and with experimental results.
