A stress analysis of the circular orifice problem for 2k periodic radial cracks

摘要

Using the method of complex analysis, the study investigates the circular orifice problem for 2k periodic radial cracks through constructing conformal mapping, and provides an analytical solution for the crack-tip stress intensity factor (SIF). From this we have simulated the circular orifice problems of cross-shaped cracks, symmetrical eight-cracks, single cracks, symmetrical double-cracks, and symmetrical four-cracks.
