The use of the complex variable z( = x + iy) and the complex potential W(= U + iV) for two-dimensional electrostatic systems is well known and the actual system in the (x, y) plane has an image system in the (U, V) plane. It does not seem to have been noticed previously that the electrostatic energy per unit length of the actual system is simply related to the area of the image domain in the (U, V) plane.

An elliptical crack subjected to coupled phonon–phason loadings in a three-dimensional body of two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals is analytically investigated. Owing to the existence of the crack, the phonon and phason displacements are discontinuous along the crack face. The phonon and phason displacement discontinuities serve as the unknown variables in the generalized potential function method which are used to derive the boundary integral equations. These boundary integral equations governing Mode I, II, and III crack problems in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals are expressed in integral differential form and hypersingular integral form, respectively. Closed-form exact solutions to the elliptical crack problems are first derived for two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals. The corresponding fracture parameters, including displacement discontinuities along the crack face and stress intensity factors, are presented considering all three crack cases of Modes I, II, and III. Analytical solutions for a penny-shaped crack, as a special case of the elliptical problem, are given. The obtained analytical solutions are graphically presented and numerically verified by the extended displacement discontinuities boundary element method.

The so-called T-stress, or second term of the William (1957) series expansion for linear elastic crack-tip fields, has found many uses in fracture mechanics applications. In this paper, an interaction integral method for calculating the T-stress for two-dimensional crack problems using the extended radial point interpolation method (XRPIM) is presented. Typical advantages of RPIM shape function are the satisfactions of the Kronecker’s delta property and the high-order continuity. The T-stress can be calculated directly from a path independent interaction integral entirely based on the J-integral by simply the auxiliary field. Several benchmark examples in 2D crack problem are performed and compared with other existing solutions to illustrate the correction of the presented approach.

Abstract The problem of finding the stress distribution in a two-dimensional elastic body with parabolic boundary, subject to mixed boundary conditions, has been reduced to the solution of the nonhomogeneous Hilbert problem following the method of complex variable. The result has been compared with that for a straight boundary.
