DEFORMATION CRITERION OF THE LIMITING STATE OF A CRACKED PLATE UNDER BIAXIAL LOADING M. M. Stadnyk

UDC 539.3

The experimentally established dependence of the critical crack-tip opening displacement on the type of loading [1, 2] indirectly shows that the crack-tip opening displacement also depends on the type of loading. The analytic representation of the crack-tip opening displacement for the case of uniaxial tension of a plate is wellknown [3]. In what follows, we present a theoretically substantiated relation taking into account the influence of the biaxiality of loading on the crack-tip opening displacement. The influence of the biaxiality of loading on KI is studied in [4]. Consider an infinite plate containing a rectilinear crack of length 2a stretched at infinity by uniformly distributed mutually perpendicular forces p (normal to the crack line) and q. On the basis of the deformation δccriterion, it is necessary to determine the critical values of forces p* and q* for which the limiting equilibrium state of the plate is attained. First, we assume that the plate is weakened by an elliptic hole with axes 2a and 2c ( a >> c ). The origin of a coordinate system x O z is placed at the center of the hole and the Ox-axis is directed along the axis of the ellipse of length 2a parallel to the forces q. The problem is reduced to the solution of the integrodifferential equation [5] qd3 cπ [u˜ z ]*′ dt = − 2 p π d1 + , t x a − −a a

Relation (2) implies that the jump of displacements [u˜ z ]* under the conditions of biaxial tension of the plate by the forces p and q can be found from the jump of displacements [u˜ z ]* in the case of uniaxial tension p = p1 , q = 0, by the change p1 = p −

For a crack with c = 0, relation (2) implies that the jump of displacements [u˜ z ]* is independent of the forces q for p = 0. If p > 0, then the crack opens, i.e., c > 0, and [u˜ z ]* is no longer independent of the forces q. Assume that the plate contains a crack of
