Thermoelastic determination of stress intensity factors in orthotropic composites using the J-integral
Thermoelastic determination of stress intensity factors in orthotropic composites using the J-integral
- Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 56(4), p.579-592, 1997 .
A technique is presented for determining stress intensity factors from thermoelastic data away from the crack tip. The concept, which is based on equilibrium, compatibility and the J-integral, uses a complex-variable formulation involving conformal mappings, analytical continuation and numerical techniques. The method is demonstrated here for loaded cracked orthotropic composite and isotropic plates containing an edge or a central crack.
