Abstract
During fracture of membranes loading often produces buckles above and below the crack
surface. This changes the stress state surrounding the crack-tip and stresses in the
neighbourhood of the crack-tip posses a weaker singularity than r
-1/2. As a result, fracture
occurs when the crack-tip stress distribution is different as compared with that when buckling
is artificially prevented. Therefore the conditions for transfer of lab results to real structures
are changed. The weaker singularity is here utilised to formulate an adopted fracture
mechanical theory. An approximate application is made based on an assumption that the
buckled area of the paper is incapable of carrying load. This region is approximated... (More)
