TY - EJOU AU - Guimarães, S. AU - Telles, J.C.F. TI - General Application of Numerical Green's Functions for SIF Computations With Boundary Elements T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2000 VL - 1 IS - 3 SN - 1526-1506 AB - The paper discusses further applications of the hyper-singular boundary integral equation to obtain the Green's function solution to general geometry fracture mechanics problems, such as curved multifracture crack simulation, static and transient dynamic in 2-D, 3-D and plate bending problems. This numerical Green's function (NGF) is implemented into alternative boundary element computer programs, as the fundamental solution, to enhance the scope of alternative applications of the NGF procedure.
The results to some typical linear fracture mechanics problems are presented. KW - HBEM KW - Crack KW - Green's Function DO - 10.3970/cmes.2000.001.433
