Relationship To Energy Release Rate and J-integral
The strain energy release rate for a crack under mode I loading is related to the stress intensity factor by
where is the Young's modulus and is the Poisson's ratio of the material. The material is assumed to be an isotropic, homogeneous, and linear elastic. Plane strain has been assumed and the crack has been assumed to extend along the direction of the initial crack. For plane stress conditions, the above relation simplifies to
For pure mode II loading, we have similar relations
For pure mode III loading,
where is the shear modulus. For general loading in plane strain, the relationship between the strain energy and the stress intensity factors for the three modes is
A similar relation is obtained for plane stress by adding the contributions for the three modes.
The above relations can also be used to connect the J integral to the stress intensity factor because

Famous quotes containing the words relationship, energy, release and/or rate:
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“For infants and toddlers learning and living are the same thing. If they feel secure, treasured, loved, their own energy and curiosity will bring them new understanding and new skills.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“You are more than entitled not to know what the word performative means. It is a new word and an ugly word, and perhaps it does not mean anything very much. But at any rate there is one thing in its favor, it is not a profound word.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
