β¦ Synopsis
Griffith's criterion for crack propagation is generalized to consider penny-shaped cracks in a spatially uniform, but otherwise arbitrary, state of stress. A further generalization incorporates the effect of interfacial friction for cracks closed in normal compression. Various criteria for crack propagation are discussed in terms of recent experimental evidence for process zones in which the region around a crack tip is seen to be permeated by smaller microcracks.

The fracture criterion of mixed mode crack has been investigated extensively by many people on the basis of Griffith's theory. In this paper, the energy release rate of crack propagation along an arbitrary direction is obtained by the use of Griffith's theory. Then the general expression of the ener
The strain energy criterion for crack propagation proposed in the paper is based on the principle that the direction of crack propagation takes place along the direction where the distance from the crack tip to a certain contour line of constant distortional strain energy density is minimum, and the
As can be proved from theoretical analysis, some mixed mode fracture criteria may be converted into an elliptical or ellipsoidal formula with the aid of mathematical translation. Others are of themselves an elliptical or ellipsoidal formula. Hence, on the basis of Griffith-Irwin theory, the paper su
A preliminary analysis of crack initiation and dynamic crack propagation of a Griffith crack in a finite rectangular plate is performed. The problem is simulated using an improved two-dimensional finite difference code-the SMFZD code-thus yielding more accurate and reliable results. The results are
