This paper is a reply to the challenge by Helsing and Jonsson (2002, ASME J. Appl. Mech., 69, pp. 88–90) for other investigators to confirm or disprove their new numerical results for the stress intensity factors for a crack in the neighborhood of a circular inclusion. We examined the same problem as Helsing and Jonsson using two different approaches—a Galerkin boundary integral method (Wang et al., 2001, in Rock Mechanics in the National Interest, pp. 1453–1460) (Mogilevskaya and Crouch, 2001, Int. J. Numer. Meth. Eng., 52, pp. 1069–1106) and a complex variables boundary element method (Mogilevskaya, 1996, Comput. Mech., 18, pp. 127–138). Our results agree with Helsing and Jonsson’s in all cases considered.

The plane interaction problem for a circular elastic inclusion embedded into an elastic matrix which contains an arbitrarily oriented crack is considered. Using the existing solutions for the edge dislocations [6] as Green’s functions, first the general problem of a through crack in the form of an arbitrary smooth arc located in the matrix in the vicinity of the inclusion is formulated. The integral equations for the line crack are then obtained as a system of singular integral equations with simple Cauchy kernels. The singular behavior of the stresses around the crack tips is examined and the expressions for the stress-intensity factors representing the strength of the stress singularities are obtained in terms of the asymtotic values of the density functions of the integral equations. The problem is solved for various typical crack orientations and the corresponding stress-intensity factors are given.

Based on the maximum energy-release-rate criterion, kinking from a straight crack is investigated under the plane strain condition. Solutions are obtained by the method that models a kink as a continuous distribution of edge dislocations. The energy-release rate is expressed as a quadratic form of the stress-intensity factors that exist prior to the onset of kinking, and the coefficients of this quadratic form are tabulated for various values of the kink angle. The examination of the results shows that Irwin’s formula for the energy-release rate remains valid for any kink angle provided that the stress-intensity factors in the formula are taken equal to those existing at the tip of a vanishingly small kink.
