Abstract
Cracked plates subjected to out-of-plane tearing loads were investigated using both classical plate theory and Reissner/Mindlin plate theory. It was shown that the total strain energy release rate according to Reissner/Mindlin plate theory converges to that of classical plate theory as the thickness to crack length ratio approaches zero. It was demonstrated that it is not meaningful to separate mode II and mode III strain energy release rates using classical plate theory.
