β¦ Synopsis
A~traet.
A new boundary integral method for plane elasticity problems with internal piece-wise smooth cracks is presented. The method can be applied to both infinite and finite geometries. A numerical technique which combines a collocation method for the cracks and the standard BEM technique for the outer boundary is used to solve the integral equations. Numerical examples are presented and compared either to existing solutions or to FEM calculations. All of the results provided by the present method are shown to be very accurate for both smooth and kinked cracks in both finite and infinite geometries.

A boundary integral equation method for the solution of an important class of crack problems in elasticity is outlined. The method is applicable for deformations in which the crack faces remain in contact. Specific numerical examples are considered to illustrate the application of the method.
