Abstract: Using the Somigliana formula and the concepts of finite-part integral, a set of hypersingular integral equations to solve the arbitrary flat crack in three-dimensional elasticity is derived and its numerical method is then proposed by combining the finite-part integral method with boundary element method. In order to verify the method, several numerical examples are carried out. The results of the displacement discontinuities of the crack surface and the stress intensity factors at the crack front are in good agrement with the theoretical solutions.

Key words: hypersingular integral equations, three-dimensional fracture mechanics, finite-part integrals
