THE STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS OF A RADIAL CRACK IN A FINITE ROTATING ELASTIC DISC D. P. ROOKE The Royal Aircraft Establishment,

and J. TWEED The University of Glasgow, Scotland Abstract-The elastic problem of a radial crack in a finite rotating elastic disc is reduced to the solution of a Fredholm equation. From this solution the stress intensity factor at both tips and the crack formation energy are derived. 1. INTRODUCTION IT HAS been shown by Tweed et al.[ l] that the stress intensity factors and the strain energy for a radial crack, subject to an arbitrary internal pressure, in a finite disc can be expressed in terms of a function which is the solution of a Fredholm equation. In that paper [ I] the plane strain case of a constant internal pressure was considered. We will here consider the pressure which gives results appropriate to the case of a crack in a uniformly rotating disc. 2. BASIC
EQUATIONS
Consider a disc of unit radius containing a crack defined, in plane polar word coordinates, by 6 = 0, 0 < a G r s b < 1 which is subject to an internal pressure f(r). The stress intensity factors, K, and Kb, and the crack energy, W, under plane strain conditions are given by the following: for the tip at r = G

Stress intensity factors of a radial crack

Thus K,l&, and KJ& can now be calculated using (18) and {19). To the same approximation the energy terms are obtained as:
and
To calculate W8 and W, R is put equal to unity in the above equations.
Since the stress intensity factors and the crack energy are physical quantities, the way in which they vary with a and b must be independent of the mathematical technique used to find them. It follows that we may dispense with the restriction 0 < a < B -=z1 which was made at the beginning of [I] only to faciiitate the use of the Mehin transform, By using the procedure outiined above, the authors have constructed a comprehensive 3.0 I-
