Hypersingular integral equations for triple Griffith cracks problems in an elastic half-plane

In this thesis, the triple Griffith cracks problems subjected to shear stress in an elastic half-plane with free traction boundary condition are formulated into hypersingular integral equation (HSIE) associated with the modified complex potential. Curved length coordinate method is utilized to tr...
