Solution of Crack Problems: The Distributed Dislocation Technique

by P.A. Kelly, D.A. Hills, D.N. Dai

Book Overview

This book is concerned with the numerical solution of crack problems. The techniques to be developed are particularly appropriate when cracks are relatively short, and are growing in the neighbourhood of some stress raising feature, causing a relatively steep stress gradient. It is therefore practicable to represent the geometry in an idealised way, so that a precise solution may be obtained. This contrasts with, say, the finite element method in...
