Predicting the crack path in a wedge under a concentrated tensile force by means of variational principle

Variational principle of brittle fracture mechanics is employed to predict the crack path in an infinite wedge under a concentrated tensile force. The weight function in basic equation of variational problem is assumed to be proportional to the maximum strain in the uncracked wedge. Obtained equatio...
