ABSTRACT:

The Dugdale model for a single straight slit in an infinite plane has been extended to the case of two straight cracks in an infinite plane proposed by Theocaris (55). It is further modified by him using a stepwise approximation for obtaining the solution of two collinear straight cracks where the plastic zones developed are closed by variable load distribution over their rims.
