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

“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebodys piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”
—Igor Stravinsky (18821971)
“It would be a fallacy to deduce that the slow writer necessarily comes up with superior work. There seems to be scant relationship between prolificness and quality.”
—Fannie Hurst (18891968)
“Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (18661934)
“We honor motherhood with glowing sentimentality, but we dont rate it high on the scale of creative occupations.”
