The aim of this paper is to describe how micro-cracks distributed on the interfaces in a periodic stratified medium effect apparent properties of this medium. The problem is investigated for linear-elastic materials and under assumption of the long-wave approximation. The general results are illustr

This paper addresses the problem of calculating effective elastic properties of a solid containing multiple cracks with prescribed orientation statistics. To do so, the representative unit cell approach has been used. The microgeometry of a cracked solid is modeled by a periodic structure with a uni
The problem of propagating crack characterization is examined for a case of a stochastic brittle medium. Crack-damage interaction and its influence on fracture kinetics are accounted for by means of continuum damage mechanics and stochastic values of stress intensity factor. The two-dimensional prob
