TLDR
In this paper, a general and simple method is presented for the determination of stress intensity factors in elasticity problems involving several interacting cracks and complex crack shapes using a superposition scheme and an approximation of certain unknown crack-line tractions by a series of base functions.About:

Nonlocal Damage Theory Based on Micromechanics of Crack Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlocal continuum model for strain-softening damage is derived by micromechanics analysis of a macroscopically nonhomogeneous (nonuniform) system of interacting and growing microcracks, using Kachanov's simplified version of the superposition method.
