Synopsis

Formulae for the calculation of the stress intensity factor at the tip of a Griffith crack and for the normal component of the surface displacement are derived for a stressfree crack in an elastic solid in which there is an asymmetrical distribution of body forces. Particular distributions of point forces are considered in detail.
