Complete Williams Asymptotic Expansion near the Crack Tips of Collinear Cracks of Equal Lengths in an Infinite Plane

Abstract:

The present study is aimed at analytical determination of coefficients in crack tip expansion for two collinear finite cracks of equal lengths in an infinite plane medium. The study is based on the solutions of the complex variable theory in plane elasticity theory. The analytical dependence of the coefficients on the geometrical parameters and the applied loads for two finite cracks in an infinite plane medium is given. It is shown that the effect of the higher order terms of the Williams series expansion becomes more considerable at large distances from the crack tips. The knowledge of more terms of the stress asymptotic expansions allows us to approximate the stress field near the crack tips with high accuracy.
