We focus on Bayesian inverse problems with Gaussian likelihood, linear forward model, and priors that can be formulated as a Gaussian mixture. Such a mixture is expressed as an integral of Gaussian density functions weighted by a mixing density over the mixing variables.

The authors discuss the elastic model with a weakened condition of smoothness of field of displacements. As the hypothesis on diffeomorphism is rejected it is required to take into account local bends of volume elements. In order to describe local bends the authors introduce a structural parameter with the dimension of length. The discrete system o...

... Solutions to curved cracks, which exist extensively in single phase and multi-phase solids, have been derived by various authors (see, for example, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]). The main difficulty encountered in such investigations is the evaluation of the corresponding Cauchy singular integral along the curve when the curved crack is simulated by a continuous distribution of dislocations. ...

(9), the exterior of L is mapped onto the exterior of the unit circle in the ξ-plane. The mapping in Eq. (9) remains one-to-one in |ξ| ≥ 1 − ε in which ε is small and positive as long as the contour L is smooth (there are no sharp corners or cusps on L). ...
An effective approach based on conformal mapping and distributed dislocation techniques is proposed to solve the plane problem of an arbitrarily curved crack in an infinite homogeneous and isotropic elastic plane under uniform remote in-plane stresses. A Cauchy-type singular integral equation is constructed in the image plane. The singular integral equation is solved numerically using the Gauss–Chebyshev integration formula to arrive at the stress intensity factors at the two crack tips. Numerical examples of an elliptical arc crack, a hypotrochoidal arc crack and a cycloid crack are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution method.
... These problems will affect the engineering structures which related to the stability and safety of the materials. A number of works have been discussed to investigate the characteristics of stress intensity factors (SIFs) at all crack tips for the crack problems in an infinite plane [1,2], half plane [3,4] and bonded two half planes [5,6,7]. The nondimensional SIFs for the crack problems in bonded two half planes subjected to the various stresses was calculated by using the body force method with continuous distributions along cracks [5]. ...

The various mode of stresses for the interaction between two inclined cracks in the upper part of bonded two half planes which are normal stress (Mode I), shear stress (Mode II), tearing stress (Mode III) and mixed stress was studied. For this problem, the modified complex potentials (MCPs) method was used to develop the new system of hypersingular integral equations (HSIEs) by applying the conditions for continuity of resultant force and displacement functions with the unknown variable of crack opening displacement (COD) function and the right hand terms are the tractions along the crack. The curve length coordinate method and Gauss quadrature rules were used to solve numerically the obtained HSIEs to compute the stress intensity factors (SIFs) in order to determine the strength of the materials containing cracks. Numerical solutions presented the characteristic of nondimensional SIFs at the cracks tips. It is obtained that the various stresses and the elastic constants ratio are influences to the value of nondimensional SIFs at the crack tips.
... The curve coordinate method provides an effective way to mapped the configurations of the cracks into a straight line on a real axis that require less collocation points, therefore give faster convergence. This approach was suggested to solve a singular integral equation (SIE) for curved crack problems in plane elasticity by Chen [1,2], and hypersingular integral equation (HSIE) for multiple curved cracks problem in plane elasticity by Nik Long and Eshkuvatov [3], also investigated for the interaction between curved and inclined cracks [4,5]. Recently, Rafar et al. used it with HSIE to study the behavior of the stress intensity factor for multiple inclined or curved cracks in circular positions in plane elasticity [6]. ...

Modified complex potential with free traction boundary condition is used to formulate the curved crack problem in a half plane elasticity into a singular integral equation. The singular integral equation is solved numerically for the unknown distribution dislocation function. Numerical examples exhibit the stress intensity factor increases as the cracks getting close to each other, and close to the boundary of the half plane.

The multiple cracks problem in an elastic half-plane is formulated into singular integral equation using the modified complex potential with free traction boundary condition. A system of singular integral equations is obtained with the distribution dislocation function as unknown, and the traction applied on the crack faces as the right hand terms. With the help of the curved length coordinate method and Gauss quadrature rule, the resulting system is solved numerically. The stress intensity factor (SIF) can be obtained from the unknown coefficients. Numerical examples exhibit that our results are in good agreement with the previous works, and it is found that the SIF increase as the cracks approaches the boundary of half plane.
Stress intensity factors (SIFs) are important parameters for evaluating structural reliability. This work combines CT in situ uniaxial compression experiment to study the main crack propagation trajectories of the reactive powder concrete (RPC) specimens. The three-dimensional (3D) displacement fields of RPC specimens with 3D surface cracks were analyzed using a 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC) method. The 3D-DIC method was used to calculate the 3D surface crack SIFs of RPC specimens at different inclination angles, and the influence of crack inclination angles on SIFs was analyzed. The study found that the distribution pattern of SIFs calculated by the 3D-DIC method is consistent with the results obtained by the numerical method.
This paper deals with the interaction between two inclined cracks in the upper part of bonded dissimilar materials subjected to various stresses which is normal stress (Mode I), shear stress (Mode II), tearing stress (Mode III) and mixed stress. This problem is formulated into hypersingular integral equations (HSIE) by using modified complex potentials (MCP) with the help of continuity conditions of the resultant force and displacement functions where the unknown is the crack opening displacement (COD) function and the tractions along the crack as the right hand terms. Then, the curve length coordinate method and appropriate quadrature formulas are used to solve numerically the obtained HSIE to compute the stress intensity factors (SIF) in order to determine the stability behavior of materials containing cracks. Numerical results showed the behavior of the nondimensionalSIF at the cracks tips. It is observed that the various stresses and the elastic constants ratio are influences to the value of nondimensional SIF at the crack tips.
The modified complex variable function method with the continuity conditions of the resultant force and displacement function are used to formulate the hypersingular integral equations (HSIE) for an inclined crack and a circular arc crack lies in the upper part of bonded dissimilar materials subjected to various remote stresses. The curve length coordinate method and appropriate quadrature formulas are used to solve numerically the unknown crack opening displacement (COD) function and the traction along the crack as the right hand term of HSIE. The obtained COD is then used to compute the stress intensity factors (SIF), which control the stability behavior of bodies or materials containing cracks or flaws. Numerical results showed the behavior of the nondimensional SIF at the crack tips. It is observed that the nondimensional SIF at the crack tips depend on the various remote stresses, the elastic constants ratio, the crack geometries and the distance between the crack and the boundary.
