Abstract
The original Dugdale model assumes a constant stress within the plastic strip zone ahead of the crack tip. Here we solve the case of a parabolic stress distribution within the plastic zone. Taking the limit of small scale yielding gives an interesting result. This result is used to investigate the relation between stress intensity factor, yield stress and crack opening displacement.
