Abstract
Abstract— This paper demonstrates a method to determine the elastic T‐stress for a semi‐infinite half‐plane containing a surface‐breaking crack which is loaded by an arbitrarily distributed far‐field tension. The method consists of representing the crack by a continuous distribution of edge dislocations and forming singular integral equations to determine the equilibrium dislocation distributions. By numerically solving the integral equations, stress intensity factors and T‐stresses are obtained for the example case of a crack which is normal and inclined to the free‐surface of a half‐plane and loaded by a uniform far‐field tension.
