Finite Element Analysis of Interactions of between two cracks in FGM notched Plate under Mechanical Loading

The investigation of multiple crack interactions in fracture mechanics is important to predict the safety and reliability of structures. This paper introduces a numerical investigation used to calculate the J-integral of the main crack behaviour emanating from a semicircular notch and double semicir...
