The paper investigates an edge crack that terminates at a slipping interface with a different material. The formulation is reduced to a singular integral equation. The integral equation is solved and the stress intensity factor extracted using a numerical method. Moreover, the asymptotic nature of the stresses at the open tip of the crack is studied.

The behavior of a long elastic strip with an edge crack resting on a liquid foundation is investigated. The faces of the crack are opened by an applied pressure loading. The deformation of the strip is considered within the framework of the linear theory of elasticity assuming plane-stress conditions. Fourier transform techniques are employed to obtain integral expressions for the stresses and displacements. The boundary-value problem is reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. For the particular case of linear pressure loading, the stress-intensity factor is calculated and its dependence is shown on the depth of the crack relative to the thickness of the strip. Application of the present results to the problem of flexure of floating ice strips is discussed.

This paper discusses the interaction of an interfacial cavity/crack with an internal crack in a bimaterial plane under uniform loading at infinity. The point dislocation solution is used to simulate internal crack by using the distributed dislocation technique. The resulting singular integral equation is solved numerically and the stress intensity factor variations are plotted for some cases of internal crack interacting with interfacial cavity/crack.

A finite strip compressed between two rough rigid stamps is considered. The elastostatic problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation from which the proper stress singularities at the corners are determined. The singular integral equation is solved numerically to determine the stresses along the fixed ends of the strip. The effect of material properties and strip geometry on the stress-intensity factor is presented graphically.

Abstract This paper is concerned with obtaining approximate numerical solution of a classical integral equation of some special type arising in the problem of cruciform crack. This integral equation has been solved earlier by various methods in the literature. Here, approximation in terms of Daubechies scale function is employed. The numerical results for stress intensity factor obtained by this method for a specific forcing term are compared to those obtained by various methods available in the literature, and the present method appears to be quite accurate.
