Talk:J-integral

Inaccuracies in the article
I was looking at the J-integral page and noticed some slight inaccuracies.
 * First, J does not give the energy release rate in small-scale yielding except under certain special cases. Those cases include monotonic loading in mode III or of pure power-law hardening materials.
 * J is not path-independent for monotonic mode I and mode II loading of elastic-plastic materials, so only a contour very close to the crack tip gives the energy release rate.
 * Also, Rice showed that J is path-independent in plastic materials when there is no non-proportional loading. Unloading is a special case of this, but non-proportional plastic loading also invalidates the path-independence.  Such non-proportional loading is the reason for the path-dependence for the in-plane loading modes on elastic-plastic materials. ChadMLandis (talk) 14:17, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
