Abstract

The objective of this paper is to modify and generalize the results of a previous study carried out by the author for a single Griffith crack in a homogeneous infinite plane under normal surface tractions [1], to cases in which a nonhomogeneous nonsymmetrical plane problem of several cracks with partial closures, placed and loaded in an arbitrary manner, is considered. Several special examples are treated in detail and the numerical results are plotted in the figures.

Résumé

L'objet de l'article est de modifier et généraliser les résultats d'une étude précédente de l'auteur sur la fissure de Griffith contenue dans un plan infini et homogène sous tractions de surface normales. On s'intéresse en l'occurrence au problème plan non homogène et non symétrique de plusieurs fissures partiellement reformées, disposées et sollicitées de manière arbitraire.

Plusieurs exemples particuliers sont traités dans le détail, et les résultats numériques sont présentés sous forme graphique.
