Relationship between Stress Intensity Factors and Residual Stress Distributions Evaluated from Discontinuous Displacements along a Mixed-Mode Crack.

n linear fracture mechanics, stress intensity factors controlling the fracture behavior of materials are calculated from stress distributions acting on the crack surfaces, with the aid of superposition even for remote applied stresses. A method of evaluating such stress distributions has been proposed by the authors. It is assessed from each mode-discontinuous displacement along a crack with mode I and II components. In this study, the previous...
