Abstract

The relationship of notch fields and crack fields is concerned in this paper. Based on theoretical studies and 3D numerical simulations, some common features of the 3D elastic-plastic notch fields and the crack fields are analyzed and the unified description of the fields is discussed. It is surprising to find that the 3D stress constraints at a circular hole, a notch and a crack can be described uniformly. Fracture of notches is discussed and some interesting topics in this direction are listed to unify fatigue mechanics and fracture mechanics.
