Abstract

An integral formulation for computing the nonsingular stresses (NSS) in a cracked body under mixed-mode static and dynamic loads is presented. The reciprocity theorems are applied to find the integral formula. The auxiliary fields are selected to eliminate the singular terms in the asymptotic expansion of the stresses near the crack tip. For elastodynamic crack problems, the integral representation of the NSS is presented in both the time and Laplace transform domain. Required variables along the integration path and region enclosed by the integration contour are obtained from the boundary element analysis. Influence of the NSS on predicting the crack growth direction is investigated for cracks under mixed-mode load conditions.
