title = "Effective elastic properties of sintered materials with branched cracks",
abstract = "The aim of work is analysis of sintered materials with branched cracks growing from the voids situated at corners of fibers. The material is modelled as a two-dimensional linear-elastic structure using the boundary element method (BEM). The materials without voids and with voids having different shapes are considered. The influence of lengths of cracks and shapes of voids on stress intensity factors (SIF) and effective elastic properties (the Young modulus and the Poisson ratio) are studied. The overall properties of the sintered materials are determined by considering the representative volume element (RVE) with large number of branched cracks. The sensitivity of effective elastic properties on boundary conditions imposed on the RVE is studied.",
