✦ Synopsis

An improved method of determining higher order eigenvector coefficients associated with a general opening crack in a similar or bi-material configuration is presented. The method is based on the reciprocal work contour integral method. The method is tested on two problems of known solution. The method is found to be insensitive to finite element idealization error.
