Microcracking in a process zone near macrocrack tips has been observed in many brittle materials. Interaction with a microcrack array can significantly alter the stress concentration at the main crack tip. Depending on the geometry of the microcrack array, it can either increase the effective stres

Widely discussed in the literature, the crack-microcrack interaction problem is reconsidered in the present communication. Interest in this problem stems from various physical models of crack initiation, a damage zone formation in front of the crack, etc. One of the most popular approaches to the cr
Interaction of a crack with microcracks (modeiling "damage") can significantly aher the stress concentration at the crack tip. Certain important effects of interaction-shielding effect ("toughening by microcracking"), amplification effect, influence of the orientations of microcracking and irregular
