Abstract

Language:

Crack problems in multilayered elastic media have attracted extensive attention for years due to their wide applications in both theoretical analysis and practical industry. The boundary element method (BEM) is widely chosen among various numerical methods to solve these crack problems. Compared to other numerical methods, such as the phase field method (PFM) or the finite element method (FEM), the BEM ensures satisfying accuracy, broad applicability, and satisfactory efficiency. Therefore, this paper reviews the state-of-the-art progress in boundary-element analysis of crack problems in multilayered elastic media by concentrating on implementations of the two branches of the BEM: the displacement discontinuity method (DDM) and the direct method (DM). The review shows the limitations of the DDM in applicability at first and subsequently reveals the inapplicability of the conventional DM for crack problems.
