This paper deals with the growth characteristics of two interacting cracks in a mixed mode condition. The problem considered is that of two cracks of different lengths, arbitrarily placed in a plane. A uniform load is applied in the plane at a large distance away from the cracks. The objectives of t

โฆ Synopsis
Short duration tensile stress pulses have been used to study the interaction of two parallel cracks in a brittle solid. The interaction of these cracks was found to agree very well with that predicted by Yokobori et al. [5].

This paper presents an overview of the finite element alternating technique for the analysis of interacting cracks. To illustrate the ease and accuracy of this method the technique is used to analyse several problems associated with both widespread fatigue and multi-site damage, a problem which is a
In Part I of the current work, experiments on fatigue crack growth from notches and crack growth simulation for a coalesced crack with re-entrant portion were conducted. It was revealed that the growth rate in area is the same for the same applied stress and area of crack face. The main conclusion w
