Yz. Chen et al., SOLUTION OF TORSION CRACK PROBLEM OF AN ORTHOTROPIC RECTANGULAR BAR BY USING COMPUTING COMPLIANCE METHOD, Communications in numerical methods in engineering, 13(8), 1997, pp. 655-663
For a cracked orthotropic torsion bar, the torsion compliance C is eva
luated numerically in this paper. The dependence of the compliance C w
ith respect to the crack length A will give the stress intensity facto
r at the crack tip. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the in
fluence of the elastic material constants of orthotropic materials. (C
