Abstract
The value of the maximum stress, and its position, at the corner of long strips bonded on one side and shrunk, has been determined using photoelasticity. The angle of the strip end varies from zero (crack) to 180 deg (no corner). The radius at the corner varies from less than 0.0001 to 0.125 in. The solution obtained is an approximation to a plane-stress solution and will have application in composite-materials problems (coatings, solid-propellant rocket grains, etc.).
