Abstract: In this paper, the displacement discontinuity fundamental solutions (DDFS)corresponding to the unit concentrated displacement discontinuity for plane problems of non-local elasticity are obtained.Based on the displacement discontinuity boundary integral equation (DDBIE)and boundary element method (BEM), a method of analysis of crack problems in non-local elasticity with generalized purpose is proposed.By using this method, several impotent problems in fracture mechanics such as edge crack are studied, The stuby of edge crack shows that the stress concentration factor (SCF)near the crack tip is not a constant but varies with the crack length.With this result the effect of crack length on the fracture toughness KIc is studied.The results obtained in this paper ore in accordance with the published ones.

Key words: crack, boundary integral equation (BIM), boundary element method (BEM), non-local elasticity, fundamental solution
