Crack Tips

Recent work by the authors has allowed the estimation of crack-tip SIFs by direct curvefitting of a cardioid form to measured isopachics from thermoelastic stress analysis. However, some of the curve-fits indicated that the cardioid form was inappropriate for the base model. One of the possible explanations for this is that the cardioid form is only suitable for an isolated crack-tip stress field. In the experimental data for the previous studies, a crack was placed centrally in a plate and there will therefore have been two (potentially) interacting crack-tips involved. The object of the current paper is to determine numerically, the stress field for such a crack system and to quantify the effect of any interactions on the curve-fitting procedure.

Crack Tip Plasticity

Crack tip plasticity has been investigated using thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) and digital image correlation (DIC). The plastic zone size at the tip of a propagating fatigue crack was measured using both techniques. At longer crack lengths, the results compared well with Dugdale’s and Irwin’s models for crack tip yielding. The TSA methodology requires careful observation of the adiabatic assumption.

Crack Tip Stress

The theory of thermoelastic stress analysis is reviewed and the implications of some theoretical developments are assessed. Available instrumentation is described and techniques available for separation of individual stress values are summarized. The scope of the technique is illustrated with reference to a number of applications covering crack-tip stress studies, stress analysis and damage assessment in composite materials, and ‘field’ work on a traffic-loaded road bridge.
