An Integral Equation of Various Cracks for Safety in Finite Plane Bodies

유한영역에서 안전을 위한 여러 형태의 균열 해석용 적분방정식 적용연구

An integral equation representation of cracks was presented, which differs from well-known "dislocation layer" representation. In this new representation, the integral equation representation of cracks was developed and coupled to the direct boundary-element method for treatment of cracks in finite plane bodies. The method was developed for in-plane(mode I and II) loadings only. In this paper, the method is formulated and applied to various crack problems involving multiple and branch cracks in finite region. The results are compared to exact solutions where available and the method is shown to be very accurate despite of its simplicity.implicity.
