Abstract
Weight functions are provided for calculating the stress intensity factors for collinear cracks in an infinite anisotropic elastic plate. The number of cracks as well as the length of the cracks are arbitrary. The weight functions are for crack-face loading, which may be non-self-equilibrium. It is shown that for self-equilibrium loading, the weight functions are independent of elastic constants. For non-self-equilibrium loading, however, an additional constant term that is material-dependent appears.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Mechanics is to provide an international forum to foster exchange of ideas among mechanics communities in different parts of world. The Journal of Mechanics publishes original research in all fields of theoretical and applied mechanics. The Journal especially welcomes papers that are related to recent technological advances. The contributions, which may be analytical, experimental or numerical, should be of significance to the progress of mechanics. Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures will generally not be accepted. Reports that are of technical interest are published as short articles. Review articles are published only by invitation.
