Analysis of Plastic Zone at a Crack Tip for I, II and III Mode Fracture with MY Criterion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The plastic zones for I, II, III mode crack under small scale yielding are analyzed by MY criterion, and the analytical solutions of the sizes of the plastic zones for plain stress and plain strain states are first obtained. The solutions for I and II mode crack show that the two solutions are functions of the yield stress, stress strength factor and polar angle, while the solution for III mode crack just depends on the yield stress and stress strength factor. Comparison of the plastic zone with those based on Tresca and Mises criteria shows that Tresca criterion predicts the maximum, the result by MY yield criterion lies between them, and is very close to that by Mises criterion. Besides, the relationship of plastic zone between plain stress and plain strain are also discussed.
