Abstract The alternating method based on the fundamental solutions of the infinite domain containing a crack, namely Muskhelishvili’s solutions, divides the complex structure with a crack into a simple model without crack which can be solved by traditional numerical methods and an infinite domain with a crack which can be solved by Muskhelishvili’s solutions. However, this alternating method cannot be directly applied to the edge crack problems since partial crack surface of Muskhelishvili’s solutions is located outside the computational domain. In this paper, an improved alternating method, the spline fictitious boundary element alternating method (SFBEAM), based More >
