Abstract
An extension of studies described in the proceedings of the first USA-USSR Symposium concerning the application of the “frozen stress” method to the determination of both flaw shapes and stress intensity distributions in three dimensional (3D) crack problems in single phase materials is presented. Analytical foundations are extended to include shear modes of fracture and its’, potential use in angle ply laminates is discussed.
