Nm. Borodachev, A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING A WEIGHT FUNCTION FOR A BODY WITH A CRACK, Journal of applied mathematics and mechanics, 62(2), 1998, pp. 303-307
A method of constructing a three-dimensional weight function using a v
ariational formula for an elastic body with a crack and the theory of
harmonic functions is described. Unlike earlier results [1, 2], with t
his method it is possible to take into account the variable curvature
of the crack contour. The example of a plane embedded elliptical crack
is given. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
