An analysis for crack instability is presented which utilizes a J-integral-based tearing modulus approach. In particular, a plane stress center-cracked panel which experiences elastically confined yielding is analyzed for a displacement controlled loading. The analysis assumes a compliant loading system, a special case of which leads to a load control mode of loading. The effects of the crack tip plasticity are taken into account by using the strip-yield model of Dugdale-Barenblatt. A method of predicting the amount of crack growth at the onset of instability is presented. Numerical results suggest that under conditions of small-scale yielding, crack instability can be achieved in materials having very low tearing modulus values.

Closed-form expressions are derived for linear elastic axial displacement and bending deflection of circumferentially cracked pipe under combined tension and bending. Formulas are then presented for the applied tearing modulus for: 1) load control and 2) displacement-controlled loading. These formulas are very useful for predicting crack initiation and instability under small-scale yielding conditions.

The strip yield model is widely used to describe crack tip plasticity in front of a crack. In the strip yield model the stress in the plastic zone is considered as known, and stress and deformation fields can be obtained from elastic solutions using the condition that the crack tip stress singularity vanishes. The strip yield model is generally regarded to be valid to describe small scale plasticity at a crack tip. The present paper examines the behavior of the strip yield model at the transition to large-scale plasticity and its relationship to net section plasticity descriptions. A bar in bending with a single edge crack is used as an illustrative example to derive solutions and compare with one-sided and two-sided plasticity solutions.

Conditions are discussed for which the contact zone at the tip of a two-dimensional interface crack between anisotropic elastic materials is small. For such “small scale contact” conditions combined with small scale yielding conditions, a stress concentration vector uniquely characterizes the near tip field, and may be used as a crack growth parameter. Representative calculations for an interface crack on a representative Cu grain boundary show small contact conditions to prevail, except possibly under large shearing loads.
