Elastic-plastic analytical solutions for an eccentric crack loaded by two pairs of anti-plane point forces

The improved near crack line analysis method was used to investigate an eccentric cracked plate loaded by two pairs of anti_plane point forces at the crack surface in an elastic_perfectly plastic solid. The analytical solutions of the elastic_plastic stress fields and displacements near the crack line have been found without the assumptions of the small scale yielding. The law that the length of the plastic zone along the crack line is varied with an external loads and the bearing capacity of an eccentric cracked plate are obtained.
