Ahatract-This paper presents the results of an analysis which considers the interaction between a crack and an array of microcracks. Complex variable techniques are used to derive explicit expressions for the stress intensity factors and energy release rates which arise from the interaction beween a

A damage mechanics model is proposed to study the void growth and crack initiation. J2 incremental flow theory along with a damage variable is used to model the material behaviour in elasto-plastic regime. Large deformation (large rotation and finite strain) finite element analysis is carried out fo
A continue damage theory which accounts for the degradation of material strength under quasi-static loading conditions is applied in this investigation to determine the response of a center-cracked concrete panel under tension. The theory is isotropic in nature in that the damage measure is taken to
