Abstract

A homogeneous infinite isotropic elastic plate contains two symmetrical circular arc cracks of equal radii and a concentric inhomogeneity. The radius of the inhomogeneity is less than that of the circular arc cracks. The plate is subjected to a traction at infinity. The stresses are found within the circular region bounded by the circular arcs, including the inhomogeneity. The problem is solved as a two-dimensional using the complex variable technique. Some numerical results are given to show the effects of the inhomogeneity.
