Abstract

The indirect formulation of the boundary element method is applied to the solution of two-dimensional elasto-cracked plate plastic problems. The problems considered are reduced to the hypersingular integral equations. The non-linear problems are solved by adopting a load incremental procedure and using the iterative processes at every step. The values of J-integrals for hardening materials are calculated numerically. 1. Introduction The elasto-plastic boundary element method (BEM) formulation
