Abstract

A numerical solution to the three-dimensional equations of elasticity is presented for the problem of a semi-elliptical surface crack in the surface of a finite thickness solid. The alternating method is used to develop the numerical results which incorporate the effects on the stress intensity factor due to the presence of both the front and the back surfaces. The stress intensity factor is presented as a function of position along the crack border for a variety of crack shapes and crack depths. A comparison of the results of this study is made with previous theoretical and experimental work.
