Abstract

In this paper, Bueckner's weight function theory is extended to rectilinear anisotropic bodies for two dimensional loading systems. Explicit solutions for the configuration of collinear cracks are provided. A numerical example for the edge crack in a bar of finite length is presented.

Résumé

On procède dans cette étude à une extension de la théorie de fonction de poids de Bueckner à des crops anisotropes rectilinéaires soumis à un système de sollicitation à deux dimensions. On fournit des solutions explicites applicables à une configuration de fissures colinéaires, et on présente un exemple numérique relatif à une fissure de bord dans un barreau de longueur finie.
