โฆ Synopsis
At&act-A boundary integral equation method for piece-wise smooth cracks in an elastic half-plane is presented. Both internal and surface cracks have been considered. The numerical formulation is based on an element description of the unknown dislocation densities along the crack line. Crack line kinks are treated by an introduction of double nodes at each kink. Numerical test examples are presented and compared, either to existing solutions, or to own finite element calculations. Excellent agreements were obtained for all cases.
