✦ Synopsis
With the assumptions of classical elasticity, the displacement fields for certain crack configurations imply an "overlapping" of the crack faces and, thus, are physically unacceptable. Au estimate of error in such solutions is illustrated by determining a physically acceptable solution for a central crack in an infinite sheet or a strip in pure bending. A solution which tolerates crack closure without overlapping is compared with the corresponding classical solution. The error in the classical solution is non-conservative and, for both the strip and the infinite sheet, underestimates the stress intensity factor at the crack tip in the tensile field by approx. 9%.

This paper deals with the detection of emergent plane cracks, by using boundary measurements. An identifiability result (uniqueness of the solution) is first proved. Then, we look at the stability of this solution with respect to the measurement. A weak stability result is proved, as well as a Lipsh
Following the idea of Bowie and Freese we consider a crack in a field of pure bending. The crack is closed over part of its extent, and the two crack faces in contact are allowed to slip under frictional constraints. The solution is constructed under the assumption that the applied loading is monoto
The implications of several approximate plans of partitioning the overlap population as applied to simple molecules in connection with different computational SCCC hl0 (self-consistent in charge and configuration) procedures are discussed.
The classical approach to external crack problems reduces them to the solution of some equivalent problems for a half-space. It is known that the stresses at the boundary plane z = 0 usually are not in equilibrium, which implies an existence of equilibrating forces and moments at infinity. Recently,
