Abstract
Summary:The purpose of the work was to investigate the effect of the finite width of plate on the elastic-stress distribution due to a central crack in a flat plate loaded in tension.The range of investigation: (i) Two-dimensional photoelastic tests were carried out on flat-plate specimens. The photoelastic specimens were geometrically similar to the 10 in. wide fatigue specimens used by Frost and Dugdale, with the central crack simulated by a slot bounded by holes of small radii, (ii) A theoretical solution of the problem was derived and compared with the present and other photoelastic results.It is shown that the effect of the crack-length/plate-width ratio on the elastic-stress concentration at the head of the crack can be expressed by the following formulae:
