Abstract
Further application of the strain energy density theory will be made to the problem of a slab with an edge crack subjected to off-center compression with b specified as illustrated in Figure 5.1 and t equal to b. The material properties for the slab correspond to those of Material 3 in Figure 2.29. The grid pattern for the finite element meshes is shown in Figure 5.2 such that only one-half of the problem needs to be analyzed on account of symmetry. Referring to the damage-crack growth model based on Strain Energy Density Theory in [1], the crack growth resistance curves will be developed by specifying the vertical displacement δ as the applied load.
