Abstract
In this book we have set out to display in a practical way, using physical arguments, a range of techniques for solving crack problems in elastic bodies. The techniques employed have all been based on an exploitation of the Bueckner principle, so that, to obtain a solution, we need to know the state of stress existing in the absence of the crack, and have a way of generating tractions to restore equilibrium on the free surfaces of the crack. The entities used here are the insertion of small amounts of material, which may be thought of as strain nuclei, and which are all describable in terms of dislocations.
