The problem of a beam containing a semi-elliptical surface crack and subjected to tension or bending loading is investigated. The stress-intensity factor along the crack front can be calculated assuming a model with finite strips arranged in series and parallel. Several cases are analysed varying th

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the interaction of parallel semi-elliptical surface cm&s in a semi-infinite solid under tension. The problem is analysed by combining the methods developed by the authors in other three-dimensional crack problems. Numerical calculations are carried out for two to five cracks and for a periodic array of cracks, and the effects of the number, shape and spacing of the cracks on the stress intensity factors are discussed.

The collinear semi-infinite array of periodically distributed cracks in a loaded infinite plane is considered. The formulation is based on consideration of the complex stress potentials. The numerical procedure allows one to obtain the resulting stress field or stress intensity factors with any prio
