Ebook: Analysis of cracks in solids

This book takes a fresh look at the crack problem and demonstrates new methods of studying the problem, as well as proposes new models for cracks in elastic and nonelastic bodies satisfying physically suitable nonpenetration conditions between crack faces. The authors consider two- and three-dimensional bodies, plates and shells with cracks, establish properties of solutions, and analyze various constitutive laws: elastic, viscoelastic, elastoplastic
