J integral.
Derivation
Integral
The integral is a line integral (path-independent) around the crack tip. It has enormous signicance in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Key Reference: J. R. Rice, Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1968. (Related works: Eshelby, Progress in Solid State Physics 1956; Sanders, Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1960; Cherepanov,

T = traction vector on this curve dened in relation to an outward normal unit vector, i.e. T = n . u = corresponding displacement vector.
We consider a small strain analysis; we neglect any deformation-induced blunting of crack tip.

For proportional loading 2 deformation theory and 2 ow theory (incremental theory of plasticity) give results that are comparable (i.e. for monotonic loading, stationary cracks). Not appropriate for situations where signicant unloading occurs. The total mechanical potential energy of the cracked body is
uM = ue + uapp
This represents the sum of the stored strain potential energy and the potential energy of the applied loading.

J also can be thought of as the energy ow into the crack tip. Thus, J is a measure of the singularity
strength at the crack tip for the case of elastic-plastic material response.

We now consider the Hutchinson, Rice, Rosengren (HRR) singular crack tip elds for elastoplastic material response. (Recall Williams solution assumes linear elastic material behavior). Assume: Pure power law material response:

The crack tip opening displacement depends on distance from the crack tip. We need an operational denition for CTOD.
