Bilby, Cottrell and Swinden model solutions for a penny-shaped crack subject to an axisymmetric stress are given. Approximate solutions for a semi-circular crack in a half-plane are constructed and applied to predicting the fracture stress of a crack subject to uniform tensile loading. The analytica

β¦ Synopsis
A theoretical method was developed for calculating the stress intensity factor (K) for semielliptical surface cracks in shafts subjected to a constant moment load. A number of tests using 2and 3-dimensional photoelasticity showed good agreement with the theoretical model. The calculated K was then used in computer predictions of crack propagation characteristics which were subsequently tested using high strength steel shafts. The theoretical model is useful for predicting critical crack depths and lifetimes for the particular geometry, crack shape and load configuration investigated.

A fracture mechanics approach has been used to predict the approximate extent of cracking in a prestressed concrete pressure vessel subject to overpressure. The stress intensity factor has been calculated by means of the crack closure work concept and finite element stress analysis for a range of cr
