Multiple Crack Problems in Elasticity
by: Y.Z. CHEN, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, China, N. Hasebe, Nagoya
Institute of Technology, Japan and K.Y. LEE, Yonsei University, South Korea
In this volume various integral equations for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity are
investigated. Formulation of the problems is based on relevant elementary solutions in which
the complex variable function method is used. The multiple crack problem is considered as a
superposition of many single crack problems while many more complicated cases, including
bonded dissimilar materials and multiple thermally insulated crack problems, are considered. A
CD-ROM containing solutions is also include

Advances in Dynamics and Impact Mechanics
by: G. Nurick, University of Cape Town, South Africa and C.A. Brebbia, Wessex Institute of
Technology, UK
This book contains invited chapters by internationally renown researchers in dynamics and
impact mechanics and covers a wide range of topics, including both experimental and
theoretical studies. Many comparisons between computer results and experimental
measurements are included and readers will find a wealth of up-to- date information on many
different aspects and applications of impact mechanics.
