Abstract: The time-domain BEM was developed to analyze the dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) of 3-D elastodynamic crack problems. To simulate the stress singularity along the front of a crack, eight-node isoparametric singular elements were used, and the DSIF for a semi-circular surface crack was firstly calculated based on displacement equation using the time-domain BEM formulation. The new scheme to determine the time step was brought forward. By the dynamic analysis program of time-domain BEM compiled by us, several numerical examples are presented, which demonstrate the unconditional stability and high accuracy of time-domain BEM applied to 3-D elastodynamic crack problems.

Key words: time-domain BEM, 3-D elastodynamic crack problems, dynamic stress intensity factor
