Author:Phan, AV; Napier, JAL; Gray, LJ; Kaplan, TDate:Dec 2003A stress intensity factor (SIF) analysis for two dimensional fractures with frictional contact (crack friction) is presented. This analysis is carried out using the symmetric-Galerkin boundary element method, and a modified quarter-point crack ...Read more
Author:Phan, AV; Napier, JAL; Gray, LJ; Kaplan, TDate:14 Jun 2003A symmetric-Galerkin boundary element framework for fracture analysis with frictional contact (crack friction) on the crack surfaces is presented. The algorithm employs a continuous interpolation on the crack surface (utilizing quadratic ...Read more
