Abstract:
This research mainly describes the comparison of the strain energy rate of the two different materials (i.e., steel and aluminium). The aluminium can be replaced in spite of steel for in many applications. In the analytical study, pre-cracked three dimensional plate was loaded, The pre-crack was made in one edge of the plate in slant manner and outputs like strain energy release rate and stress intensity factors were taken for both the steel and aluminium.
