Elastic Interactions of a Crack with Damage and Associated Energy Release Rates.
Abstract
A new method of analysis of many crack problems has been developed. It is based on the ideas of self-consistency applied to average tractions on individual cracks and yields simple analytical solutions accurate up to quite close distances between cracks. The configuration crack-microcrack array was studied in detail and the effects of stress shielding and stress amplification due to microcracking were investigated. Keywords: Stress intensity factor.
