Numerical Investigation on LEFM Limits under LSY Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a parametric numerical investigation on the plastic zone size and shape at the crack front of a through crack in a plate is presented. The thickness of the plate, the size of the crack and the applied remote load values are considered as parameters. The obtained results allow assessing the limits of the linear elastic fracture mechanics in presence of an extensive material yielding at the crack front and the relationship between the plastic zone size and other parameters of the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics theory is highlighted.
