โœฆ Synopsis

This paper investigates the fracture toughness of a flat large elastic cracked plate containing an elastic circular inclusion, using the plane stress crack-tip stress intensity factor as a criterion for fracture. In this plane stress geometry, each of the two collinear finite cracks is located on either side of the elastic circular inclusion and the geometry is subjected to uniform stresses at infinity. The analysis is based on the two-dimensional theory of elasticity by using the Muskhelishvili complex variable approach. Numerical calculations are reported for the case of simple tension normal to the crack direction, and show the variation of the stress intensity factor with the configuration and elastic properties of the plate and the inclusion.

The problem of interaction between a curvilinear crack (or a system of such cracks) and a misfitting inclusion of arbitrary shape (or a system of such inclusions) inside an infinite isotropic elastic medium of the same material as the inclusion was solved by using the complex potential technique and
