Original abstract
Some authors proposed to combine a torsional loading of cylindrical specimens with surface semi-elliptical cracks (the principal axes along the axial direction) with superimposed static axial compression in order to eliminate kinking or branching of shear cracks from the shear plane. To authors knowledge, however, no precise numerical analysis of such a loading configuration is currently available. The aim of this article is to calculate stress intensity factors KI, KII and KIII along the semi-elliptical crack front using the ANSYS code. The problem is solved for a semi-circular crack front and various crack inclination angles. The results reveal that the compressive loading cannot eliminate the branching process. The inclination of the crack plane induces a rather high opening mode which means that the microscopically tortuous fatigue cracks observed in experiments grew under mixed-mode I+II+III.

Někteří autoři navrhují použít při kombinovaném zatěžování válcového vzorku s povrchovou poloeliptickou trhlinou (hlavní osa ve směru osy vzorku) se statickým osovým tlakem pro eliminaci odchýlení či větvení smykové trhliny z roviny smyku. Podle znalostí autorů však dosud není k dispozici přesná numerická analýza takové zátěžné konfigurace. Cílem tohoto článku je spočítat součinitele intenzity napětí KI, KII a KIII podél poloeliptického čela trhliny užitím programu ANSYS. The problem is solved for a semi-circular crack front and various crack inclination angles. The results reveal that the compressive loading cannot eliminate the branching process. Odklon roviny trhliny indukuje vysoký mód I, jehož důsledkem je u microskopicky křivolaké únavové trhliny pozorovaný růst ve smíšeném módu I+II+III.
