โฆ Synopsis
Two unequal parallel cracks in a linite. width plate subjected to remote tensile loading have been studied. As a result of interaction between the two cracks, the stress intensity factors at the tip of both cracks simultaneously decrease. Diminution of the interval between the two cracks enhances the interaction. When the difference between the lengths of the two cracks is high, the shorter crack is dormant and its influence can be neglected.

The eigenfunction expansion variational method (EEVM) is proposed to determine the stress intensity factors for two-dimensional cracked bodies. In the new method, the undetermined coefficients in the truncated eigenfunction expansion form are determined by using the variational method. It is expecte
Weight functions for the two surface points of a quarter-elliptical corner crack in a finite thickness plate of infinite width are derived from a general weight function and two reference stress intensity factors. The weight functions have been validated for several linear and non-linear crack face
