A Proposed Rationale for Accounting for Boundary Layer Effects in Designing Against Fracture in Three Dimensional Problems

  • Conference paper
Time-Dependent Fracture

Abstract

After briefly reviewing the features of an optical method for measuring boundary layer effects in cracked body problems, results of its application to two problem classes are presented. An interpretation of these results leads to a suggestion for accounting for boundary layer effects in design rationale.
