Influence of the V-Notch Opening Angle on Critical Applied Force Values for the Crack Initiation from the Sharp V-Notch

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to estimate a value of the critical applied force for a crack initiation from the sharp V-notch tip. The classical approach of the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LELM) was generalized, because the stress singularity exponent differs from 0.5 in studied case. The value of the stress singularity exponent depends on the V-notch opening angle. The finite element method was used for a determination of stress distribution in the vicinity of the sharp V-notch tip and for the estimation of the generalized stress intensity factor depending on the V-notch opening angle. Critical value of generalized stress intensity factor was obtained by using stability criterion based on the tangential stress component averaged over a critical distance d from the V-notch tip. Calculated values of the critical applied force were compared with experimental data taken from the literature.
