In this paper, the improved near crack line analysis method proposed in Refs. [I] and [2]
I..IntroductionThe near crack line analysis method has been greatly improved by Yi tl' 21. In [1,2], the improved near crack line analysis method has been used to investigate a mode III crack in an elastic-perfectly plastic solid. And the small scale yielding conditions have been completely abandoned, and completely new and precise solutions of the elastic-plastic fields of a mode III stationary crack and a model III quasi-statically growing crack with remote antiplane shearing in an elastic-perfectly plastic material have been obtained, respectively. In [3] we analyzed the near crack line elastic-plastic stress and deformation fields for a center crack loaded by a pair of antiplane point forces in an infinite body in an elastic-perfectly plastic material. The solutions in [1--3] are suitable to the plastic zone no matter how large it is.The elastic-plastic analysis for a cracked plate with finite dimensions is one of the most difficult fields of Elastic-Plastic Mechanics. In this paper, we use the improved near crack line analysis method to analyze the near crack line elastic-plastic Stress and deformation fields for a center crack loaded by two pairs of antiplane point forces in a finite body in an elasticperfectly plastic material. This problem often exists in the practical engineering and is easily investigated with experiment, so the investigation of the problem is important both on the theory and in the applications. Similar to Ref. [1--3], the assumptions of small scale yielding theory have been given up and no other assumptions have been taken. So the results of this paper are sufficiently precise near the crack line region. However, we" found that the t Chongqing Jiaotong Institute,
