Third Edition | HIROSHI TADA, PAUL C. PARIS, GEORGE R. IRWIN
The book "The Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook" (Third Edition) by Hiroshi Tada, Paul C. Paris, and George R. Irwin provides a comprehensive guide to the stress analysis of cracks in various configurations. The content is divided into several parts:
1. **Introductory Information**: Introduces the basics and provides an overview.
2. **Stress Analysis Results for Common Test Specimen Configurations**: Focuses on the stress analysis of center cracked test specimens.
3. **Two-Dimensional Stress Solutions for Various Configurations with Cracks**: Discusses cracks along a single line, parallel cracks, cracks and holes/notches, curved/angled branched/radiating cracks, and cracks in reinforced plates.
4. **Three-Dimensional Cracked Configurations**: Covers semi-infinite cracks in infinite bodies and embedded circular cracks.
5. **Cracks in a Rod or a Plate by Energy Rate Analysis**: Explains bending, shearing, and tension/compression.
6. **Strip Yield Model Solutions**: Introduces strip yield model analysis, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems.
7. **Cracks in a Shell**: Analyzes circumferential, multiple circumferential, longitudinal, and spherical cracks in cylindrical shells.
8. **Appendices**: Provides additional methods and formulas, such as compliance calibration, stress intensity factors, and plastic zone instability.
The book also includes references, a subject index, and free software (SmartCrack-Lite) for practical applications.The book "The Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook" (Third Edition) by Hiroshi Tada, Paul C.
