A clarification of the role of crack-tip conditions in linear elasticity with surface effects
Abstract.
We examine the role of crack-tip conditions in the reduction of stress at a crack tip in a theory of linear elasticity with surface effects. The maximum number of allowable end conditions for complete removal of a stress singularity is demonstrated for both plane and anti-plane problems. In particular, we show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for bounded stresses at a crack tip cannot be satisfied with a first-order (curvature-independent) theory of surface effects, which leads, at most, to the reduction of the classical strong square-root singularity to a weaker logarithmic singularity.
Keywords: Cauchy integro-differential equations, first-order surface effects, natural boundary conditions
