Abstract
Green's function is obtained for the infinite bimaterial elastic solid, containing an internal circular interface crack, loaded by a unit tangential co-axial circular source. An axisymmetric direct boundary integral equation (BIE) is used for the analysis of a finite bimaterial axisymmetric body containing an internal circular interface crack and a finite homogeneous cracked cylinder, both under torsional loading. Using the proposed technique, no discretization of the crack surface is necessary. Numerical results for both examples as obtained by the proposed method are presented and discussed.
