plane stress, steady-state, mode I asymptotic solution for elastic / perfectly plastic materials

Submitted by David J Unger on

I would like to inform the fracture mechanics community of an asymptotic solution for the steady-state mode I crack problem for an elastic / perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditons.  See the following article in ZAMP, i.e.,
