Abstract

Abstract: The modified complex potentials (MCPs) functions are used to develop a new system of singular integral equations (SIEs) for a curvilinear crack in the upper part of bonded materials subjected to shear mode stress with the help of continuity conditions for resultant force and displacement functions. The unknown dislocation distribution function is mapped into a square root singularity function by using curved length coordinate method and the traction along the crack as the right hand term. The Gaussian quadrature rules were used to obtain the numerical solution for a new system of SIEs in order to compute the nondimensional stress intensity factors (SIFs) for these problems. Our results agree with those of the previous works. The findings have revealed that the nondimensional SIFs depend on the elastic constant ratio, crack geometries and the position of the cracks.
