Abstract: In short fiber reinforced composite it is known that the singular stress at the end of fibers causes crack initiation, propagation, and final failure. The singular stress field is controlled ...

Abstract: Using a body force method and the finite-part integral concepts, a set of hypersingular integral equations for a vertical crack terminating at an interface in a three-dimensional infinite ...

Abstract: This paper deals with linear elastic fracture problems for a planar crack on an interface between two dissimilar elastic half-space solids bonded together. The finite-part integral concept is ...
