Stessed Solid: Assumed stesses:, y, z, y, z, yz ; Whee in a condition of plane stess : z,= y = z, =0 and in a condition of plane stain : z = 0; hence: z = ( y + z ) 9
Plane poblem; equilibium: y y 0, y y y 0 Stain - displacement epessions: u y v y y u y v stess - stain elations: E E y y y y y 0
Assuming a function,, such that: y y, y y Satisfies the equilibium equations
This is obtained by substitution of stesses in tems of fom these epessions into stess - stain elations and diffeentiating twice: 4 4 4 4 4 y y 0 o:

K I One may conclude that: At the cack tip: 0 and thus stesses become infinite. Facto K I is then a measue of cack tip gulaity Stesses ae elastic thus fo uni-aial tension K I is popotional to K I must also be popotional to the squae oot of a length The only chaacteistic length fo infinite plate is the cack size K I c a 6

K I ; uni-aial vs bi-aial infinite plate solution It is epected that the stess system paallel to the cack is not distubed by the cack Thus the solution fo the uni-aial case must be the same as fo bi-aial Hence, the facto C is equal to 8

epesenting the stess state in, out and on the plastic zone! Cacks with same K I have equal size plastic zones and out of the PZ the stess field is the same, this is also the case on the bounday of the PZ Thus: the stesses and stains in the PZ must be the same; it means that K I also detemines what occus inside the PZ! K I is a measue fo all stesses and stains 5
c cack etension occus when the stesses and stains at the cack tip each a citical value; o one can say: when K I eaches a citical value it is anticipated that K IC, the citical K I, can be seen as a mateial paamete 6
