Hello,

This is my first experience of mail here and i hope it will be good one.
i am a student and working in field of fracture mechanics,I need the analytical solution for the penny shaped crak and edge crack on infinite body.I searched but could not found it.
Although asymptotic near tip stress and displacement fields are available but i need the analytical solution of stress and displacement fields of penny and edge shaped crack.

Thanx for the reply
Hassan

You will likely have better luck with this question if you post it on the Engineering-Tips forum. The link is: http://www.eng-tips.com/index.cfm .

CAESAR II is a beam-element program, implementing "code defined" rules. I don't think too many members of this forum dabble in Fracture Mechanics (but I could be wrong).

Hassan,
