Notizen:
The time-domain boundary element method is applied to study the propagation of discrete cracks under dynamic loadings. The principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics are employed to accurately represent the stress singularity in front of the crack tip. A fracture criterion suitable for brittle materials is employed to determine the time and direction of the propagating crack. Discrete crack closure under dynamic loadings is modelled and the response of a 2-D cracked body is obtained by direct integration of the equations of motion. Results are presented for three test problems wherein the accuracy and usefulness of the proposed formulation is established through comparisons with available data. 'It is expected that this formulation can be used to study the seismic cracking of mass concrete structures such as gravity dams.
