✦ Synopsis

Abatrac-Equations

based on the fictitious crack model (FCM) for a mode I crack in concrete are developed. Once the material properties-the strain softening diagram-are evaluated through experiments, the length of the fracture process zone, the fracture stress and the stress distribution ahead of the crack tip corresponding to a preformed crack at the critical state of crack growth can be solved analytically. In this way, the computational effort.3 associated with the application of the FCM for analysing the crack formation and propagation in concrete can be greatly reduced. The above factors stimulate the implementation of the FCM in solving practical engineering problems. Typical examples are inch&d and variations of the length of process zone, the fracture stress and the equivalent fracture toughness with respect to the preformed crack length are thoroughly studied.

This paper considers various possible problems that may be encountered in the course of structural-concrete analyses by means of the brittle material model. Ways of dealing with such problems are suggested, and are illustrated by two examples which, in the past, have proved difficult to predict in a

The paper is devoted to developing mathematical models of the elastic oscillations of a cylindrical shell with surface closing cracks. The respective forms of shell vibrations have been chosen to represent various types of damage of the shell. In the case of dispersed and single-surface damage, the
