Fc. Li et H. Qi, THE ASYMPTOTIC SOLUTION TO THE ANTIPLANE SHEAR DYNAMIC CRACK-TIP FIELD IN AN ELASTIC STRAIN-SOFTENING VISCOPLASTIC MATERIAL, Applied mathematics and mechanics, 18(2), 1997, pp. 173-179
The elastic strain softening-viscoplastic model is given in this paper
. Using this model, the asymptotic stress and strain equations surroun
ding the tip of a propagating crock are given and numerical results al
e obtained under antiplane shear. The analysis and calculation show th
at at the crack tip the strain possesses logarithmic singularity (ln(R
/r))(1/(n+1)) while the stress is like (ln(R/r))(-n/(n+1)), therefore
the asymptotic behaviour of the elastic strain-softening viscoplastic
field is revealed under the antiplane shear.
