Abstract

The branch crack subjected to a remote stress in a half-plane elasticity
is modelled into a singular integral equation (SIE) using the
distributed dislocation and complex potential method. The numerical
solution to the obtained SIE is discovered using the appropriate quadrature
formulas. Some numerical examples are provided to address the
nature of stress intensity factors (SIF) at the tip of each branches.
