Notes:
Based on the concept of discontinuity displacement, an analytical solution for cracked thin plates has been derived in which displacements and stresses in a solid can be expressed by the linear distributed discontinuity displacements on the whole boundary. By way of the potential variational principle and the analytical solution newly developed, a boundary element model for 2D multiple crack problems has been presented and applied to fracture and damage analysis of thin plates with many cracks. Two numerical examples are considered to illustrate applications of the proposed element model.© 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
