Abstract
The plane-strain solution of the problem of a row of external cracks in an elastic half-plane whose faces are uniformly pressurized, is obtained. The stress intensity factor and the strain energy per crack are calculated and their variations with the distance of separation of the cracks are shown.
Résumé
On obtient la solution pour la contrainte simple du problème d'une suite de fissures extérieures dans un demiplan élastique dont les surfaces sont à pression uniforme. On calcule le facteur d'intensité de contrainte et l'energie de déformation pour chaque fissure et on montre leurs variations avec la distance entre les fissures.
