Perturbed Cracks in Two Dimensions: A Reprise
by Martin, P. A.
A nominally straight crack of finite length is subjected to planestrain loadings. A perturbation method is developed for calculating the stress-intensity factors, based on an asymptotic analysis of the governing hypersingular boundary integral equation for the crack-opening displacement. Comparisons with a recent paper by Ballarini and Villaggio are made.
