In this paper, a traction integral equation containing no hypersingular integrals is presented to study the interaction of multiple cracks in an infinite elastic medium. 8-node quadratic quadrilateral elements are used to discretize general crack surfaces, and special crack tip elements are employed

Within the assumptions of linear elastic fracture mechanics, dynamic stresses generated by a crack growth event are examined for the case of an infinite body in the state of plane strain subjected to mode I loading. The method of analysis developed in this paper is based on an integral equation in
The complex variable function method is used to formulate the multiple curved crack problems into hypersingular integral equations. These hypersingular integral equations are solved numerically for the unknown function, which are later used to find the stress intensity factor, SIF, for the problem c
