Two-Dimensional Fracture Mechanics Analysis Using a Single-Domain Boundary Element Method

This work calculates the stress intensity factors (SIFs) at the crack tips, predicts the crack initiation angles, and simulates the crack propagation path in the two-dimensional cracked anisotropic materials using the single-domain boundary element method (BEM) combined with maximum circumferential...
