Numerical Solutions to Integral Equations of Fracture Mechanics.

Abstract

The Integral Equation method developed by Major Montulli allows solution for Stress Intensity Factors for closed crack, general shaped bodies. This thesis studies one complete example problem using the Integral Equation method for a closed crack, right circular cylindrical geometry. In addition, techniques and computer software are developed for use with the example problem and for any future practical problems that may be studied.
