Multiple Crack Problems in Elasticity (Advances in Damage Mechanics Series) FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this volume various integral equations for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity are investigated. Formulation of the problems is based on relevant elementary solutions in which the complex variable function method is used. The multiple crack problem is considered as a superposition of many single crack problems while many more complicated cases, including bonded dissimilar materials and multiple thermally insulated crack problems, are considered. A CD-ROM containing solutions is also included.
SYNOPSIS
Chen (Engineering Mechanics, Jiangsu University, People's Republic of China) investigates various integral equations for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity, using the complex variable function method, and explores solutions for three-dimensional multiple crack problems using the Fredholm integral equation, in this book/CD-ROM. The CD-ROM supplies programs for four kinds of integral equation for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity. The book is distributed in North America by Computational Mechanics, Inc.
