Overview
This book describes the formulation and numerical implementation of the 3-D Dual Boundary Element Method DBEM for the Thermoelastic Analysis of mixed-mode crack problems in LFEM. The development of the 3-D Thermoelastic J integral for a more accurate computation of stress intensity factors, further extends the present formulation. The mixed-mode SIF has been achieved through a decomposition technique. Crack growth is analyzed under thermomechanical loads, for several examples including embedded and edge cracks.Editorials
From The Critics
From research supported by the European Union Project HIPSIA (High Performance Simulation of Structural Integrity Analysis), dell'Erba (Wessex Institute of Technology, UK) describes the analytical formulation and numerical implementation of the three- dimensional dual boundary element method (DBEM) for the thermoelastic analysis of mixed-mode crack problems in linear elastic fracture mechanics. He explains that DBEM overcomes the problem of the singular matrix that plagues crack modeling by incorporating two pairs of independent boundary integral equations, namely, the temperature and displacement and the flux and traction equations. Appended are theorems and identities for potential and elasticity problems. Includes 176 references. Lacks an index. Distributed in North America by Computational Mechanics, Inc. Annotation c.
