The paper develops a "nite element scheme for computing the eigensystem for a cracked beam for di!erent degrees of closure. Previous work in the authors' laboratories has indicated that the ability to extend the use of mode superposition to model breathing conditions in the crack zone would overcome
A review of the existing crack branching criteria is made. Effect of stress intensity factor, crack velocity and remote stress acting parallel to the crack on the predictions of various criteria is investigated. A new criterion based on the strain energy method is proposed. This criterion predicts t
