Closed form solution for the finite anti-plane shear field for a class of hyperelastic incompressible brittle solids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The equilibrium solution of a damaged zone in finite elasticity is given for a class of hyperelastic materials which does not suffer tension when a critical stretching value is reached. The study is made for a crack in anti-plane shear loading condition. The prescribed loading is that of linearized elastostatics conditions at infinity. The geometry of the damaged zone is found and the stationary propagation is discussed when the inertia terms can be neglected.
