The contents of this report are as follows: (1) More refined investigation of the relationship obtained before between initial crack length,load-diplacement curves and the crack energy density which holds until a crack starts to grow is made by using two crack models. (2) A relationship between initial crack length, present crack length, load-displacement curves and the additional rate of crack energy density caused by crack extension which holds generally for a growing crack is derived by using the same crack models as used in (1). (3) A method to evaluate the fracture resistance of a stably growing crack from load-displacement curves which can be easily obtained by experiments is proposed, based on the relations above.}, pages = {3685--3692}, title = {An Evaluation of the Fracture Resistance of a Stably Growing Crack by Crack Energy Density (1st Report, Derivation of Fundamental Relations and Proposal of Evaluation Method)}, volume = {29}, year = {1986} }
