Stress Intensity Factors at the Tip of a Surface Initiated Crack Caused by Different Contact Pressure Distributions
Abstract Current practice in pavement design is to use a uniformly distributed load over a circular contact patch. However, this is not the reality; tyre-pavement contact stress distributions are very complex. There are vertical, longitudinal and...
