Abstract

Engineering components frequently contain cracks, either as an unavoidable consequence of their manufacturing (for example, pores in sintering processes or machining flaws) or due to processes occurring in service (cyclic loads, corrosive attacks, wear, etc.). Since it is not possible to completely avoid the formation of cracks, engineering safety requires to ensure that cracks do not lead to failure of a structure.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that, somewhat confusingly, the technique called “displacement correlation method” in [30] is termed “displacement extrapolation method” in [31].

  2. 2.

    It should be noted that n is perpendicular to the contour, not parallel to it as in standard contour integrals because the integration domain is actually a two-dimensional slice taken out of a three-dimensional surface integral.
