Analytical solutions and boundary element analysis for holes and cracks in anisotropic viscoelastic solids via time-stepping method

In this study the time-stepping method, which can convert the problem of anisotropic viscoelasticity into two sets of elastic-like system, is employed for both analytical solutions and boundary element method (BEM) to solve the two-dimensional problems of holes and cracks in anisotropic viscoelastic solids. Based upon this method and the available solutions for the corresponding elastic problems, some analytical solutions for the two-dimensional...
