Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the solution of the three-dimensional fracture mechanics problem for linearly elastic, homogeneous and isotropic solid with two coaxial penny-shaped cracks under normally incident harmonic tension-compression wave with allowance for the contact interaction of cracks’ adjoining edges.

The considered nonlinear problem with the Signorini unilateral constraints is solved by the method of boundary integral equations using the iteration algorithm, which is based on the variational principles of the elastodynamics. The dependence of the normalized stress intensity factor (opening mode) versus the mutual arrangement of cracks is studied for different wave numbers.

The present numerical results are compared with corresponding those obtained without allowance for the contact interaction of cracks’ edges.
