Analysis of Crack Interaction Problem by the Numerical Manifold Method

Abstract:

Due to the use of mathematical cover system and physical cover system, the numerical manifold method (NMM) is very suitable for discontinuity problems, especially for multiple crack problems. In the NMM, the mathematical cover system is independent of the physical boundary, and in this case, fully regular mathematical elements can be used. In the present paper, the NMM, combined with the rectangular mathematical elements, is applied to solve crack interaction problems in the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). To verify the present method, a typical numerical example is investigated and the results agree well with the reference solutions.
