Saint-Venant's torsion problem for a composite circular cylinder with an internal edge crack (Q684847)

We use Muskhelishvili single-layer potential function solution and single crack solution for the torsion problem of a circular cylinder to discuss the torsion problem of a composite cylinder with an internal crack, and the problem is reduced to a set of mixed-type integral equations with generalized Cauchy kernel. Then, by using the Gauss-Jacobi integration formula, a numerical method is established and several numerical examples are calculated. The torsional rigidity and the stress intensity factors are obtained.
