Estimation of Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) on Crack Component

The investigations related to fracture behavior of materials in thin plates or general yielding fracture regimes are limited in number. Theoretical solutions are available for idealized cases such as Infinite flat plate with edge crack, central crack etc. However main limitation of these theoretical solutions is they are very restrictive and while analyzing a normal component, a lot of assumptions go into it. Finite Element Analysis on the other hand provides good tool to determine Stress Inten ...
