Introduction
Introduction
• In the previous chapter, elastic stress field equations for a sharp crack, equations,
were obtained.
• These equations result in infinite stresses at the crack tip, i.e. there is a stress
singularity.
• However, real materials have an atomic structure, and the minimum finite tip
radius is about the interatomic distance. This limits the stresses at the crack tip.
• More importantly, structural materials deform plastically above the yield stress
and so in reality there will be a plastic zone surrounding the crack tip.
Introduction
• Along the x axis at θ=0,
• The Plastic zone size, ry can be
approximated by substituting
in the yield strength
Introduction
• From this figure the assumption is inaccurate, since part of the stress
distribution (shown hatched in the figure) is simply cut off above σys.
• Also, there is no a priori reason why the plastic zone should be
circular.
• It is extremely difficult to give a proper description of plastic zone size
and shape.
• The Irwin and Dugdale approaches assume a plastic zone shape and
provide a better approximation of the size.
• The classic Yield criteria assume a plastic zone size and provide a
better approximation of shape.
Irwin’s Plastic Zone Size
Irwin’s Plastic Zone Size
• Irwin made the following assumptions

•
The plastic zone is circular
Only the situation along the x-axis (y=0 and θ=0°)
The material is elastic-perfectly plasticity
A plane stress state is considered.
Irwin’s Plastic Zone Size
We must introduce the

aeff = a + an
aeff = effective crack length

Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD)
Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD)
• Well’s discovered that many structural
steels used in fracture experiments
exhibit Blunting
• The extent of Blunting increased in
proportion to the toughness of the
material

Dugdale’s Strip Yielding Model
Dugdale’s Strip Yielding Model
• Also called the “Strip Yield Model”
• Dugdale Assumed

2. The notional crack carries the yield stress

Dugdale’s Approach
• To make it easier to draw, let focus on one half of
the crack in the center-cracked plate
• Superposition – We approximate that the
solution is due to the addition of a remote
tensile stress (elastic) and local compressive
stresses (plastic)

Dugdale’s Strip Yielding Model
Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD)
Crack Tip Open Displacement
• An important aspect of the Dugdale approach in terms of stress
functions is that it enables a basic expression for the CTOD to be
calculated. The crack flank displacement, v, in the region between a
and a + Δan is
• With y=0, in the strip yielding model.

Classic Yield Criteria
Classic Yield Criteria
• In the Classic yield criteria the shape is determined from a first order
approximation to the size.
• Classical yield criteria such as
• Tresca
• Von Mises
• Etc.
• Can be employed.
Classic Yield Criteria
• The Von Mises yield criterion states that yielding will occur when
• Where  1 ,  2 ,  3 are the principal stresses
• Consider the stress field equations of a center-crack plate in principal
stress as follows
Plane stress
3 = 0
Plane strain
 3 =  ( 1 +  2 )
Classic Yield Criteria
• Substituting in the Von Mises furnishes,
• Rearraning to solve for r, and
normalizing by ry.
Classic Yield Criteria
• Along the x-axis (θ = 0 °) the plane strain value of r(θ) is much less
than the plane stress value. Assuming ν= 1/3,
• Similar derivations of plastic zone shapes can be obtained for mode II
and mode III loading. Results of such derivations are given in
reference 3 of the bibliography to this chapter.
Classic Yield Criteria
Summary
➢ The plastic zone size is the area ahead of the crack tip where plastic deformation
occurs.
➢ The Irwin and Dugdale approximated the plastic zone size but assume a shape
(circular, strip yielding)
➢ They are only valid when the size of the zone is small compared with the crack length and
when the influence of the boundaries can be ignored (for instance if the width of the
specimen is large).
➢ If these conditions are not met, the overall stress state is more complex than that predicted
using the near-field equations, and the equilibrium balance is more difficult to formulate.
➢ Yield Criterion approximate the plastic zone shape but assume a size.
➢ The Plastic Zone Size and Shape is greatly influenced by thickness (Plane Stress
versus Plane Strain)
