The problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. By using the Fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is em...

The fatigue growth of multiple cracks, of arbitrary lengths, emanating from a row of fastener holes in a bonded, riveted, lap joint in a pressurized aircraft fuselage is studied. The effects of residual stresses due to a rivet misfit, and of plastic deformation near the hole, are included. A Schwartz Neumann alternating method which uses the analytical solution for a row of multiple colinear cr...

Asymptomatic enamel and dentin cracks can pose a risk for multiple pathological and undesired consequences if intervention is postponed. This article reviews asymptomatic enamel and dentin cracks, and presents current management approaches utilized by a sample of general dentists. Becoming familiar with all forms of asymptomatic enamel and dentin cracks is crucial to adopting a proactive approa...

In order to have fault identification for the gate rotor shaft with multiple cracks effectively, the quantity identification method of the gate rotor shaft with multiple cracks based on wavelet finite element method is established and the frequency test of the gate rotor shaft based on blind source separation algorithm is analyzed. Firstly the wavelet finite element was established by combining...

Abstract-An alternating method, in conjunction with the finite element method and a solution for multiple coplanar elliptical cracks in an intinite solid, is used to determine stress intensity factors for semi-elliptical surface flaws in cylindrical pressure vessels. The solution technique for multiple cracks in an infinite body has recently been developed by the prese.nt authors which implemen...

This paper presents a method to detect multiple cracks based on frequency information. When a structure is subjected to dynamic or static loads, cracks may develop and the modal frequencies of the cracked structure may change. To detect cracks in a structure, we construct a high precision wavelet finite element (EF) model of a certain structure using the B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI)....
