Abstract: Time-harmonic elastodynamic analysis is presented for a periodic array of collinear mode III cracks in an infinite transversely isotropic solid. The scattering problem by a single antiplane crack ...

Abstract: An elastodynamic conservation integral, the J̃k integral, is employed to derive boundary integral equations for crack configurations in a direct and natural way. These equations immediately have ...

Abstract: A system of boundary integral equations is presented which governs the crack-opening displacements for two-crack configurations. The integral equations are highly singular and they cannot be solved ...
