Download or read book Determination of Stress Intensity Factors from Photoelastic Data with Applications to Surface Flaw Problems written by M. A. Schroedl and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Taylor Series correction to the maximum in plane shear stress was studied as a means of extending the data zone in photoelastic determination of stress intensity factors beyond the singular region of a two degree of freedom analysis. Convergence properties were obtained by comparing with several complete two-dimensional solutions. Experiments were performed on two kinds of three-dimensional problems; plates containing surface flaws in both bending and extension. Results were analyzed by both a two degree of freedom and a Taylor Series Correction Method (TSCM). (Author Modified Abstract).
