For the application of the weight function method the crack opening displacements for a reference case have to be known. An approximate method to derive the crack opening field from the stress intensity factor was proposed by Petroski and Achenbach [Engng Fracture Me&. 10,257 (1978)J. The limited ac
Further resuhs given in the present paper confnm that shallow cracks have larger crack tip opening disp~a~en~ at initiation than deep cracks. This difference in behaviour is shown to be principally caused by the different hydrostatic stresses existing at the tips of shallow and deep cracks. A new me
Using a direct proportionality between the rate of fatigue crack growth and crack opening displacement above a threshold, it is shown that fatigue crack growth data for a wide variety of different materials can be accurately described in terms of the mechanical properties and two material constants
