Crack tip fields in ductile crystals

Results on the asymptotic analysis of crack tip fields in elastic-plastic single crystals are presented and some preliminary results of finite element solutions for cracked solids of this type are summarized. In the cases studied, involving plane strain tensile and anti-plane shear cracks in ideally plastic f c c and b c c crystals, analyzed within conventional small displacement gradient assumptions, the asymptotic analyses reveal striking discontinuous fields at the crack tip.
