This paper presents a boundary element analysis of linear elastic fracture mechanics in three-dimensional cracks of anisotropic solids. The method is a single-domain based, thus it can model the solids with multiple interacting cracks or damage. In addition, the method can apply the fracture analysi

β¦ Synopsis
A two-dimensional boundary element method for analysis of closed or partially closed cracks under normal and frictional forces is developed. The single domain dual formulation is used. As a contact problem is non-linear due to the friction phenomena at the crack interface and also because of the boundary conditions which may change during the loading, it is formulated in an incremental and iterative fashion. The stress intensity factors are calculated with the J-integral method. Also crack growth is considered. Several benchmark cases have been analysed to verify the results given by the method. The stress intensity factors and crack paths calculated are similar to those given in the literature.

The boundary integral equations for displacement and traction in time domain are presented. By using the displacement equation and traction equation on crack surfaces, the discon
This paper presents a formulation based on the Dual Boundary Element Method and on the Dual Reciprocity Method for the analysis of thin cracked metal sheets to which thin metal patches and stiffeners are adhesively bonded. The stiffened cracked sheet is modelled with the Dual Boundary Element Metho
