Self-consistent boundary element solution for predicting overall properties of cracked bimaterial solid
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a self-consistent boundary element method is introduced to predict overall properties of a cracked bimaterial plate. The boundary element (BE) formulation is developed based on Green’s function for displacement discontinuity of a bimaterial solid and potential variational principles. The self-consistent method is then introduced into the BE formulation to provide an effective means for estimating overall material constants of a bimaterial solid weakened by cracks. Numerical results for a bimaterial plate with cracks are presented to illustrate the application of the proposed self-consistent BE formulation. q 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The dual boundary element method is formulated for the analysis of linear elastic cracked plates. The dual boundary integral equations of the method are the displacement and the traction equations. When these equations are simultaneously applied along the crack boundaries, general crack problems can be solved in a single-region formulation, with both crack boundaries discretized with discontinu...
