Figure 6. — Normalized energy release rate versus normalized contact radius c/b for h/a = 2.0. The dashed line is obtained using the FEM and the solid line is given by the analytical solution with β = kh/E = 7.351 (see equation (2.14)). A closer view of the curve for small contact radius is given in the insert. (Online version in colour.)
