The stress intensity factor represents a vital parameter within the realm of linear elastic
fracture mechanics. It acts as the cornerstone in determining crack propagation and …

The failure of earthquake-induced landslides generally involves four stages: tensile
cracking, breaking of the substrate, shearing failure, and deposition of the sliding mass …

In this research, the solution of linear elastic fracture mechanics problems when using
spherical Hankel shape functions in the boundary element method is investigated. These …

A rectangular plane element containing an internal open stable crack is formulated. Using
the well-known local flexibility approach, the element flexibility matrix is derived by the …

Reinforced concrete (RC) corrosion is a leading of structural deterioration and premature
degradation for the infrasturctures, with significant affected for safety, durability and reability …
