Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic behavior of two parallel symmetric cracks under harmonic anti-plane shear waves is studied using the non-local theory. For overcoming the mathematical difficulties, a one-dimensional non-local kernel is used instead of a two-dimensional one for the problem to obtain the stress occurs near the crack tips. The Fourier transform is applied and a mixed boundary value problem is formulated. Then a set of dual integral equations is solved using the Schmidt method. Contrary to the classical elasticity solution, it is found that no stress singularity is present at the crack tip. The non-local elastic solutions yield a finite hoop stress at the crack tip, thus allowing for a fracture criterion based on the maximum stress hypothesis. The finite hoop stress at the crack tip depends on the crack length, the lattice parameter and the distance between two parallel cracks, respectively.
