TI - Normal deflection of a notched plate under uniform tensile stress T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 2 IS - 2 SN - 1933-2815 AB - A semi-analytical solution by beam theory and finite element solutions are obtained for normal deflection of a plate with a surface crack under tensile stress. The semi-analytical solution consists of the deflection of a beam and the half-space or full-space solution. Also finite element solutions are obtained and compared with these analytical solutions. These solutions can be used as reference data for non-destructive evaluation of a surface crack. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2007.002.047
