A Photoelastic Study on the Stress Intensity Factor of Circular Disk with an Are-crack

The stress distribution in the vicinity of the crack tip in the fracture mechanics is ordenarily indicated by the stress intensity factor. In the analysis of stress intensity factors, there are many theoretical and experimental methods. The stress analysis in photoelastic technique is usually made by using the difference of the principal stress of isochromatic fringe patterns. In this paper, the teflon molding technique is adopted to make a test specimen with a circular arc-crack, and that upgraded the accuracy of experiment. As the result, the experimental values of the stress intensity factors for the circular disk with a straight crack are coincided with the theoretical values. But, there is quite a difference between this expermental results on the finite plate for circular arc-crack and its theoretical values on the infinite one. Therefore, a boundary condition with regard to the loading condition on finite disk must be considered.
