A multiple branch crack problem for a circular torsion cylinder is studied in this paper. All branches emanate from the centre of the section. The relevant boundary problem belongs to the modiยฎed Dirichlet problem. The modiยฎed Dirichlet problem is converted into the solution of two Dirichlet problem

โฆ Synopsis
The branch crack problem in plane elasticity is modeled by a reasonable distribution of the dislocation. A new integration scheme is proposed in the following manner. A point dislocation is placed at the branch point and the distributed dislocations are assumed along all the branches. Thus, the singular integral equation and the constraint equation can be formulated for the branch crack problem. A semi-open quadrature rule is used, which can ensure that the number of unknowns is equal to the number of equations. The results of the numerical solution directly relate to the stress intensity factors at the branch tip. Finally, several numerical examples are given.

A new integral equation is proposed in this paper to investigate the problems of branch cracks with arbitrary configuration in plane elasticity. In the new integral equation, the unknown functions are the usual dislocation functions, and the right hand terms of the integral equations represent the r
