The effect of a surface tension on the stress field
near a curvilinear crack
May 4, 2012
1-2 PM, 646 PGH
Abstract
A thin plate with a curvilinear crack under the action of in-plane stresses
is considered. A linear elasticity model is assumed to model the behavior
of the material of the plate in the bulk. A non-linear boundary condition
which includes a surface tension depending on the curvature of the crack is
given on the crack surface. Using Muskhelishvili’s formulas for stresses and
displacements and Savruk’s integral representations of complex potentials
the problem is reduced to a complex singular integro-differential equation.
The regularization of this equation by reduction to the system of two real
Fredholm equations is discussed. The equation is solved numerically and
the results are presented.
