Using the method of complex analysis and by constructing conformal mapping, the study investigates the plane elasticity problem of star-shaped cracks and provides an analytical solution for the stress intensity factor (SIF) of crack-tip type I and II. Problems of the classic Griffith crack, the cross-shaped crack, concurrent uniformly distributed three-cracks and symmetrical eight-cracks are also simulated.

Plane Elasticity Problem

Using the method of complex analysis, the paper investigates the plane elasticity problem of circular orifices with four-cracks through conformal mapping, and provides an exact analytical solution for the crack-tip stress intensity factor (SIF). From this we have simulated circular orifices with three-cracks, symmetrical four-cracks, asymmetrical collinear double-cracks, and symmetrical collinear double-cracks; as well as the crack problems of asymmetrical cross-shaped cracks, symmetrical cross-shaped cracks, and T-shaped cracks.

The stress distribution produced by the identation of a penny-shaped crack by an oblate smooth spheroidal rigid inclusion in a transversely isotropic medium is investigated using the method of Hankel transforms. This three-part mixed boundary value problem is solved using the techniques of triple integral equations. The normal contact stress between the crack surface and the indenter is written as the product of the associated half-space contact stress and a nondimensional crack-effect correction function. An exact expression for the stress-intensity is obtained as the product of a dimensional quantity and a nondimensional function. The curves for these nondimensional functions are presented and used to determine the values of the normalized stress-intensity factor and the normalized maximum contact stress. The stress-intensity factor is shown to be dependent on the material constants and increasing with increasing indentation. The stress-intensity factor also increases if the radius of curvature of the indenter surface increases.

The simplification of two dimensional approaches in singular finite elements has promoted the method to be used in the formulation of stress intensity factor (SIF) of multiple cracks in finite body. The effect of shielding and amplification are considered in defining the SIF. As been observed, the current available analytical approximations are more restricted to several assumptions. The more accurate and less restricted method has motivated this study. This paper presents the investigation of singular finite elements applied in two dimensional finite element models subjected to different crack-width ratio and cracks interval ratio. The newly finite element formulations are resulted with good agreement with theoretical statement compared to analytical solution. The weak points of presented analytical solution are discussed regards to the influence of crack width ratio and cracks interval ratio.
