Abstract
In the present work, a numerical study using finite element is performed to investigate the effects of randomly oriented secondary parallel cracks on the fracture parameters in a rectangular plate under static loading. Crack is damaged that often occurs in members of structures and may cause the sudden serious failure of the structures. In the present study, two geometrical parameters, viz. crack offset distance and crack ratio, have been varied and their effect on stress intensity factor observed. Two types of effects were observed, viz. the shielding effect and the intensification effect. It was observed that there was mode mixity due to the presence of secondary cracks; it, however, was negligible.
