B. Liu et Yc. Gao, THE STRESS-FIELD NEAR THE NOTCH TIP OF AN INCOMPRESSIBLE RUBBER-LIKE SPECIMEN UNDER THE CONDITION OF PLANE-STRAIN, Science in China. Series A, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy & Technological Sciences, 38(10), 1995, pp. 1220-1231
Using Gao's constitutive relation, the stress field has been analyzed
near the notch tip and the crack tip of an incompressible rubber-like
specimen under the condition of plane strain. The asymptotic equation
of the notch tip field is solved numerically; the stress and strain si
ngularities are calculated for various notch angles and different mate
rial constant values; the stress variation with the angle coordinate i
s also analyzed.
