## A B S T R A C T A brittle crack is in a state of "semi-stable" equilibrium when its stress intensity factor, K0, is equal to the fracture toughness, Kc; any perturbation which makes K o > K c will cause crack extension. The influence of the actual value of this perturbation on the resulting mot

The problem of opening two coplanar Griffith cracks in an infinite elastic medium has been considered in this note. The application of Somigliana's method to this mixed boundary value problem leads to a F/~ppl integral equation, whose solution has been derived in closed form with the help of a convo
This paper deals with the method of analysis for arbitrary radial crack systems. Using the Mellin transform, several fundamental solutions of radial crack system are given. By means of these solutions, we give a general method for solving arbitrary radial crack systems which are loaded by most gener
The equivalence of the crack extension criteria associated with the Griffith and Elliott crack models is demonstrated, the underlying reasons for the equivalence being discussed by means of the path independent J integral that has been used extensively in other considerations of crack problems.
