 Abstract

The elastic yield zones are calculated and compared, using both an approximate and the exact stress analysis for a crack in an infinite sheet. The 'effective crack length' for use in Fracture Toughness Tests is obtained, together with the maximum width of the elastic yield zone and the width at the crack tip.
