Abstract
1. The problem of determining the distribution of stress in the neighbourhood of a penny-shaped crack defined in terms of cylindrical coordinates (ρ, φ, z) by 0 ≤ ρ ≤ α, z = 0, has been considered by Sneddon ((2)) and Sack ((1)). In the latter paper the solution is derived only in the case in which the stress field is due to the application of constant pressure to the faces of the crack. In the former paper the analysis given applies to an axisymmetric distribution of pressure p(ρ) applied to both the upper and lower face of the penny-shaped cavity, but the calculation of the stress intensity factor and of the energy W required to open up the crack is a complicated matter even in the case in which p(ρ) is a constant.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
