Abstract:

This paper is aimed at crack surface displacement solutions for cracks at a circular hole, which is a common crack configuration in aircraft structures. The weight function method is used for calculating crack surface displacements for double cracks under both remote uniform tension and partial crack surface uniform segment loading. It is found that the weight function method is a very efficient and highly accurate method for calculating crack surface displacements under arbitrary load conditions. By rational curve fitting to the results obtained from the weight function method, accurate analytical expressions for crack surface displacements for the two load cases are developed. The present study provides an efficient and accurate means for crack closure and crack opening stress analysis for double cracks emanating from a circular hole in an infinite plate.

Key words: crack at a circular hole, crack surface displacement, strip-yield model, weight function method, crack surface displacement equation
