Stress concentration around a spheroidal crack caused by a harmonic wave incident at an arbitrary angle

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A method is proposed to study the stress concentration around a shallow spheroidal crack in an infinite elastic body. The stress concentration is due to the diffraction of a low-frequency plane longitudinal wave by the crack. The direction of wave propagation is established in which the combined concentration of mode I and mode II stresses is maximum
