Abstract

The aim of work is analysis of plates with cracks subjected to compressive static loadings. The plates are analyzed using the boundary element method (BEM). The contact forces between crack surfaces are determined using the iterative procedure. Three numerical examples are presented: a single inclined crack in an infinite plate, a branched crack in a rectangular plate and multiple parallel inclined cracks in a square plate. Contact forces, stress intensity factors (SIF) and effective elastic properties are computed. The numerical results are compared with analytical solutions for the first example. An influence of direction of loading and orientation of cracks on stresses and overall elastic properties is studied.
