This third volume of a series on Mechanies of Fraeture deals with
eraeks in plates and shelIs. It was noted in Volume 2 on
three-dimensional eraek problems that additional free surfaees can
lead to substantial mathematical complexities, often making the
analysis unmanageable. The theory of plates and shelIs forms a part
of the theory of elasticity in which eertain physieal assumptions
are made on the basis that the distanee between two bounded
surfaees, either fiat or eurved, is small in eomparison with the
overall dimen sions of the body. In modern times, the broad and
frequent applieations of plate- and shell-like struetural members
have aeted as a stimulus to whieh engineers and researchers in the
field of fracture meehanies have responded with a wide variety of
solutions of teehnieal importanee. These eontributions are covered
in this book so that the reader may gain an understanding of how
analytieal treat me nt s ofplates and shells containing initial
imperfeetions in the form of eraeks are earried out. The
development of plate and shell theories has involved long standing
controversy on the eonsisteney of omitting eertain small terms and
at the same time retaining others of the same order of magnitude.
This defieieney depends on the ratio of the plate or shell
thiekness, h, to other eharaeteristie dimensions and eannot be
eompletely resolved in view of the approximations inherent in the
transverse dependence of the extensional and bending stresses."
