✦ Synopsis

intensity factor Mixed-mode fracture Radial basis function interpolation Moving least-square method a b s t r a c t A variational meshfree method has been developed to evaluate the stress intensity factors of mixed mode crack problems. The stiffness is evaluated by regular domain integrals and shape functions are determined by both the radial basis function (RBF) interpolation and the moving least-square (MLS) method. The stress intensity factors are obtained by two boundary integrals with variation of crack length. Applications of the proposed technique to two-dimensional fracture mechanics have been presented and comparisons are made with benchmark solutions. Finally, the application of the proposed method to modelling fatigue crack growth is presented.

## Abstract This paper presents a boundary element method (BEM) procedure for a linear elastic fracture mechanics analysis in two‐dimensional anisotropic bimaterials. In this formulation, a displacement integral equation is only collocated on the uncracked boundary, and a traction integral equation
