THE EFFECT OF A PENNY -SHAPED CRACK IN A SEMI-INFINITE CYLINDER

ALOKNATH CHAKRABARTI

Abstract


A procedure is presented for solving the problem of a penny-shaped crack, in a semi-infinite cylinder opened by a known pressure. The crack is assumed to be situated at a finite distance from the flat end, which is assumed stress-free and the curved boundary constrained. Expressions for the quantities of practical interest have been obtained and some of them have been compared with the results of a particular limiting case of this problem. Numerical results are tabulated at the end.

Keywords


Penny-shaped crack; Dual series reactions; Fredholm integral equations.
