4.1 Linear elastic fracture mechanics
In aeronautics, linear fracture mechanics is considered sufficient to assess the propagation time of a crack: in most cases, plasticity remains localized at the crack tip
Three zones can be distinguished in the vicinity of a crack (Figure 20 ):
area around the crack tip;
zone in which the stress field is characteristic of the crack and singular at
