International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A crack model with a constant-length prefracture zone and a critical opening criterion are used to solve the wedging problem for a linear elastic body split by a rigid wedge with thickness increasing with time. Governing equations describing the behavior of the crack during the incubation and transient stages are presented. An algorithm is proposed to solve numerically the governing equation of transient crack growth
