Download or read book Three-Dimensional Analysis of Short-Bar Chevron-Notched Specimens by the Boundary Integral Method written by A. Mendelson and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis was performed, of the three-dimensional elastic problem of the chevron-notched short-bar specimen, using the boundary integral equation method. This method makes use of boundary surface elements only in obtaining the solution. Results were obtained for various notch geometries, and included displacement and stress fields. Load line displacements, and stress-intensity factors determined both from strain calculations and compliance calculations were compared with experimental values obtained at NASA Lewis Research Center. Good agreement was obtained.
