2D cracks analysis with symmetric Galerkin boundary element method

The practical applications of a Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) for multiple traction-free cracks, frictional contact and cohesive cracks problems is described in this thesis. Attention has been concentrated in deriving the formulations used for the analysis of these problems. For...
