Abstract

This paper presents an overview of some of the recent (1984-1991) developments in computational/analytical methods in the mechanics of fracture: (i) analytical solutions for elliptical or circular cracks embedded in isotropic or transversely isotropic solids (the crack-plane being at an arbitrary angle to the axis of tranverse isotrophy), with crack-faces being subjected to arbitrary tractions; (ii) finite-element or boundary-element alternating methods for two- and three-dimensional crack problem; (iii) a 'direct-stiffness' method for stiffened panels with flexible fasteners and with multiple cracks, using the alternating method; (iv) multiple-site-damage near a row of fastener holes; (v) analysis of cracks with bonded repair patches; (vi) methods for generation of weight-functions for 2- and 3-D crack problems, and (vii) domain-integral methods for elastic-plastic or inelastic crack mechanics.
