Abstract
There is experimental evidence that stress-induced microcracking near a macrocrack tip enhances the fracture toughness of brittle materials. In considering the interaction of the macrocrack with multiple microcracks using a discrete model, it is essential to use approximation methods in order to keep the amount of the computation to a tractable level. However, when crack distances are small, the results of the approximation methods can be significantly different from the numerical solution based upon the exact formulation. The results obtained by these approximation methods will be compared with the numerical solution to show the applicability ranges in which the errors are acceptably small. The use of results obtained by the approximation methods outside applicability ranges in literature is shown to lead to incorrect conclusions concerning microcrack shielding.
