A procedure is developed for determining the stress intensity factors in cracked polygonal plates. The method uses eigenfunctions of angular regions and satisfies the boundary conditions exactly. Westergaard's stress functions are used to satisfy the boundary conditions at the crack. Numerical resul

A new simple method for the photoelastic determination of Mode I stress intensity factors from isochromatics is proposed. This method takes into account the fact that a considerable part of the error committed in the photoelastic determination of Mode i stress intensity factors Kt at crack tips, bas
A circular element centered at the crack tip is constructed. According to the first four terms of Williams stress function, the displacement pattern with singularity is given to the circular element, where unknown parameters are considered as generalized nodal displacements. On the interface between
