The development of the concept suggested by G. G. Sih in fracture mechanics |

| Abstract |
In [1], where various criteria of quasibrittle fracture of bodies with a
microcrack are given, the criterion suggested by G. G. Sih is noted to be
most widespread. However, calculation results obtained on the basis of
Sih's criterion [2] frequently do not agree with experimental data (see,
for instance, [3]). In the present paper, under the assumption that a
body with a macrocrack is capable of attaining the limit state (Sih's
criterion is based on that assumption), we suggest a reasonable approach to
passing from the space of stresses to the space of stress intensity
factors (SIF). The fracture criterion obtained allows us to find, in
particular, the boundary between the elastic region of the body and the
region where the fracture process takes place near the crack
tip [4]. The general fracture criterion implies the fracture criteria for
all special cases with only one of the SIF's being different from zero.
We propose a method for approximating the limit surface in the SIF space
and compare theoretical results with experimental ones obtained by other
authors. By way of example, we solve the problem of determining
the bearing capacity for a rectangular plate with an inclined central
crack under the action of uniformly distributed uniaxial tensile forces. |
