This book is concerned with the numerical solution of crack problems. The techniques to be developed are particularly appropriate when cracks are relatively sho

Solving complex problems and selling their solutions is critical for personal and organizational success. For most of us, however, it doesn’t come naturally a

The authors investigate various integral equations for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity. Formulation of the problems is based on relevant elementary
