Abstract

The Fast Multipole Method coupled with the Symmetric Galerkin BEM is employed in this work to simulate fatigue crack growth. The resulted crack propagation code is accelerated with a fast matrix update, a parallel implementation and a sparse matrix format. By using multiple nodes, this code accommodates also multiple surface-breaking cracks. The numerical tests presented herein allow the propagation of multiple cracks in single or multilayer domains.
