An elasto-dynamic moving element formulation incorporating a variable order singular element to enhance the local crack tip description is presented. The moving mesh zone is embedded in a finite global mesh providing a functional tool for the analysis of dynamic crack growth experiments. In the fol

## Abstract The application of linear elastic fracture mechanics is ideally suited to estimating the strength of notched timber elements because wood is quite brittle with respect to tension across the grain. Elements with notches more than a few millimetres deep behave in a brittle manner. Some of
The boundary-integral equation (BIE) method for 3D elastic fracture mechanics has been extended to the elastoplastic problem. The formulation makes use of a special elastic Green's function for the crack, thereby eliminating the need to model the crack itself. Application of the general formulation
In this paper the direct boundary integral equation method is applied to dynamic fracture mechanics, and the computational results are compared with experimental values. The comparison shows that the authors' computation is successful.
