Elastic fracture mechanics analysis of Bi-materials using boundary element method

This report presents the analysis of elastic fracture problem on bimaterial using the Boundary Element Method (BEM), with the aid of using the Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) programme. The iso-parametric element numerical formulation has been employed to obtain the stress intensity factor, K_1. Se...
