A nonlinear effect in mode II crack problems

Abstract
A recent result of Stephenson shows that, when finite deformations are taken into account, a crack under Mode II loading conditions in plane strain will open, at least near the crack-tip and at least for certain elastic materials. In this note, the matter is investigated further, and it is shown that, in general, nonlinear effects—even at small loads—lead either to crack-opening or apparent interpenetration of the crack-faces when the loading is of Mode II-type.
