Abstract: | We study the initiation and propagation of a vertical crack in an elastic semi-infinite plate, reinforced on its boundary by an infinite discontinuous stringer within the limits of the theory of brittle failure. The plate is subjected to uniform distributed tensile forces at infinity, as well as to contact stresses due to application of forces to the stringer. We find the appropriate loading of the coherent stringer, and consequently we consider a problem where the stringer is cracked and a vertical crack has developed within the plate. We deduce the exact analytical solution for the principal singular integral equation for this case; hence the stringer is perfectly rigid and we calculate characteristic parameters of the problem. The results show that the crack tip has a logarithmic singularity, and the tangential contact stresses under the stringer at that end point are finite and generally differ from zero. |
