✦ Synopsis

intensity factors are presented for a circular crack approaching the surface of a semiinfinite solid. Results are presented for uniform tension and linearly varying loading. The solutions are used to derive stress intensity factors for a circular crack near the surface of a beam in pure bending and an approximation of the thickness effect on the stress intensity factor for a deep surface flaw in a plate is presented. A solution is also presented for the stress distribution in a half space subjected to shear loading on part of its boundary.
