Matched asymptotic expansions in nonlinear fracture mechanics

This thesis is concerned with the analysis of two-dimensional cracked specimens at load levels which induce significant plastic yielding near the crack tip. The differences between the solutions discussed here and the well known linear elasto-static ones are confined to the effects of this yielding....
