Abstract

Biaxial tensile experiments with thin rubber sheets, containing an internal crack, reveal the possibility to simulate and readily check the exact linear-elastic crack-flank displacements. The resulting deformed shape and the final position during loading of an internal inclined crack in an infinite, biaxially loaded elastic plate, was defined by measuring the crack-flank displacements, and the deformation features of the internal crack in rubber sheets. The results were compared with the linear-elastic displacements and the respective features, which have been obtained from an infinitesimal elasticity theory.
