Abstract
An approximate analysis for crack opening displacements for finite sheets of work hardening materials using a modified Dugdale model is given. This is combined with a fracture criterion based on percentage reduction in area and an overall plastic instability failure mode. Predictions using simple tensile data in this analysis are compared with experimental results for hard and soft aluminium, copper, brass and PVC and good agreement is obtained.
