The stress distribution produced by the identation of a penny-shaped crack by an oblate smooth spheroidal rigid inclusion in a transversely isotropic medium is investigated using the method of Hankel transforms. This three-part mixed boundary value problem is solved using the techniques of triple integral equations. The normal contact stress between the crack surface and the indenter is written as the product of the associated half-space contact stress and a nondimensional crack-effect correction function. An exact expression for the stress-intensity is obtained as the product of a dimensional quantity and a nondimensional function. The curves for these nondimensional functions are presented and used to determine the values of the normalized stress-intensity factor and the normalized maximum contact stress. The stress-intensity factor is shown to be dependent on the material constants and increasing with increasing indentation. The stress-intensity factor also increases if the radius of curvature of the indenter surface increases.

Distribution Of Stress

1. The problem of determining the distribution of stress in the neighbourhood of a penny-shaped crack defined in terms of cylindrical coordinates (ρ, φ, z) by 0 ≤ ρ ≤ α, z = 0, has been considered by Sneddon ((2)) and Sack ((1)). In the latter paper the solution is derived only in the case in which the stress field is due to the application of constant pressure to the faces of the crack. In the former paper the analysis given applies to an axisymmetric distribution of pressure p(ρ) applied to both the upper and lower face of the penny-shaped cavity, but the calculation of the stress intensity factorand of the energy W required to open up the crack is a complicated matter even in the case in which p(ρ) is a constant.
