Abstract

The method of effective (self-consistent) field is used for solving the problem of a random set of interacting cracks in an elastic medium. Construction of the first moment of solution is shown on the example of a medium containing Poisson set of plane elliptic cracks. Effective elastic constants of a medium with cracks are determined and the results obtained in the plane case are compared with published experimental data.
