On the Weatergaard Method of Crack Analysis
by
G. C. Slh 2
A survey of the literature on the analysis of crack
problems shows that the Westergaard method [1] has been
most frequently quoted and used by the practitioners In
fracture mechanics for nearly thirty years. Surprisingly
enough it has yet to be pointed out that the method in [1]
suffers severe restrictions for a class of problems dealing
with the infinite medium with a crack (or cracks) subjected
to external loads at infinity. These restrictions will be
derived in the work to follow from the more general con-
sideration of complex potentials originated by Muskelish-
vili [2],
In the theory of two-dimensional Isotropie elasticity,
the stresses and displacements may be expressed in terms of
two complex functions <fr(z) and \|>(z) of the variable z-x+iy.
They are

course of an investigation carried out under Contract

(1)
and
2y(u+iv) » ie $(z) - z ♦' (z) - JTzT (2)
where K takes the value 3-^v for plane strain and (3-v)/(l+v)
for generalized plane stress and v is the Poisson's ratio.
The shear modulus is denoted by y. Eqs. (1) and (2) may be
simplified by introducing symmetry conditions as follows:
Symmetric Problems. If the external loads are placed
symmetrically with respect to the x-axls along which the cracks
are situated, then the shearing stress T must vanish at y»0,
i.e.,
Im [z ♦"(z)+*»(z)] - 0 , for y - 0 (3)
Eq. (3) can be satisfied by taking
i|i'(z) + z 4>"(z) + A - 0 (4)
where A is a real constant depending upon the applied load.
Making use of eq. (4) and letting K ■ 3 - **v for plane strain,
the stresses take the form
- 2 -
ox - 2 Re IV(z)] - 2y Im [♦"(z)3 + A
a - 2 Re [♦•(«)] + 2y Ira [♦"(z)] - A (7)
T - -2y Re [♦"(«)]
and the displacements are
2M U - 2(l-2v) Re [*(z)] - 2y Im [♦'(z)] + Ax
2y v ■ 4(l-v) Im C*(z)] - 2y Re [♦»(z)] - Ay
(8)
Hence, the problem Is reduced to the determination of a single
complex function $(z) satisfying the necessary boundary con-
ditions. Eqs. (7) and (8) agree with eqs. (4-6) and (9-10)
in [1], respectively, only if
2 *'(z) . z , A - 0
In general, the constant A cannot be neglected arbitrarily.
To illustrate this point, consider the problem of an infinite
medium with a central crack of length 2a along the x-axis.
The boundary conditions are
a "T "0, y ■ 0 , -a<x<a y xy * * '
a "60,0 ■» <J , T xy 0, as (xZ+y2)-1'^« 1/2
(9)
- 3 -
(10)
The solution to this problem Is given by [2]
♦'(z) = (o"/2)[z/(Z2-a2)1/23-(l-£)(a°yiO
*'(z) - (a2o"/2)[z/(z2-a2)3/2]+(l-c)(o"/2)
Inserting eq, (10) into (H), A is found to be
A - - (l-e)(o°,/2)
Note that A vanishes only in the special case of e»l corre-
sponding to the case of uniform tension at infinity, The same
applies to the problem of an infinite row of collinear cracks
spaced periodically in an infinite medium [3].
Skew-Symmetric Problems. For loads applied skew-
symmetrically with respect to the crack line, say along the x-
axis, the normal stress o is required to vanish at y»0, or
Re [2<j»*(z)+z ♦ l,(z)+*»(z)] ■ 0, at y - 0 (11)
It follows that
I|I'(Z) + 2 4>'(z) + z ♦"(z) + IB » 0 (12)
where B is a real constant. Substituting eq. (12) into eqs,
(1) and (2) and separating the real and imaginary parts give
ox - *J Re [*'(z)3 - 2y Im [♦"(*)]
av - 2y Im [♦"(z)] y - 4 -
(13)
T • - 2 Im [#•(«) * >y Re U"(z)] - B (13) xy
and
2y u w 4(l«v) Re [♦(z)J - 2y Im [+'(z)] - By
(1M)
2W v « 2(l-2v) Im U(z)] - 2y Re [♦»(«)] - Bx
The Westergaard version of eqa. (13) and (14) may be obtained
by selecting an Airy stress function of the form y Im Z.
The results are the same as those given above if
2 $»(z) - 2, B ■ 0
The restriction of B»0 leads to a trivial solution for
the problem of uniform in-plane shear applied to an infinite
medium containing a crack. For this problem, the conditions
are
O«T "0, y ■ 0 , -a<x<a y xy • J '
(15)
x y "xy o ■ a ■ 0 , T * T , as (x2+y2)w ■*■«»
Prom [2], the complex functions are
♦ •(z) - -(iT°/2)[z/(z2-a2)1/2] + i r/2
#*(s) - iTaB[z/(z2-a2)1/2]-i(a2T°'/2)[z/(z2.a2)3/2]
- 5 -
(16)
«»
The constant B may thus be found from eqs. (12) as
B - - T
Hence, B cannot vanish for a non-trivial solution.
It should be mentioned that the Westergaard method is
valid for loads applied to the crack surfaces since in such
cases the constants A and B have no contribution.

II. ABSTRACT
The Westerpaard method of crack analysis, published
almost thirty years ago, is shown to be invalid for a class
of crack problems dealing with the infinite medium with
cracks under applied loads at infinity. The necessary
modifications of the Westereaard method are derived from
the complex potential formulation of Muskhelishvili. The
examples of a single line crack in an infinite plate owin?
to biaxial tension and pure shear are discussed.
