Abstract

In this paper the dual reciprocity boundary element method in the Laplace domain for anisotropic dynamic fracture mechanic problems is presented. Crack problems are analyzed using the subregion technique. The dynamic stress intensity factors are computed using traction singular quarter-point elements positioned at the tip of the crack. Numerical inversion from the Laplace domain to the time domain is achieved by the Durbin method. Numerical examples of dynamic stress intensity factor evaluation are considered for symmetric and non-symmetric problems. The influence of the number of Laplace parameters and internal points in the solution is investigated.
