THE TIP FIELDS OF SHARP V-NOTCH UNDER CREEPING CONDITION CONSIDERING OUT-OF-PLANE EFFECT

Notches in creeping solids at high temperatures have drawn considerable attention due to their importance in structural integrity assessment. Understanding the three-dimensional (3D) effect on the notch tip field is important for the fracture mechanics analysis of engineering materials and structures. This paper presents an asymptotic solution for 3D sharp V-notched structures subjected to mode Ⅰ creep loading condition.
