What is it about?

The multiple cracks problems that involved arbitrarily crack arrangement are common in many engineering structures. Therefore there is a need to study the interaction between two arbitrary cracks configuration in order to explain the stress distribution in the vicinity of two cracks and their effect on strength. This paper examines the problems of multiple inclined or curved cracks in circular positions by using the hypersingular integral equation method.

Why is it important?

Our findings show the results for stress analysis in multiple inclined or curved cracks in circular positions in plane elasticity. We adopted the hypersingular integral equation method in our analysis. In this paper, we examined the effect of interaction between two cracks. This is important in many engineering structures to exhibit targetted structures and properties. It is possible to design material including characteristics of crack contributions.
