Analysis of Stress Intensity Factor for Cracked Flattened Brazilian Disk: Part I – Analysis Method and Pure Mode I Crack

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem how to calculate the stress intensity factor for a cracked flattened Brazilian disk under mode I loading, the finite element method was employed to analyze the stress intensity factor for the cracked flattened Brazilian disk under mode I loading, based on the closed-form expression of the stress intensity factor for a cracked Brazilian disk subjected to pressure. The analyzed result shows that within the certain range of the load distribution angle, the formula of the stress intensity factor for the cracked Brazilian disk can be directly used to calculate the stress intensity factor for the cracked flattened Brazilian disk under mode I loading.
