A new type of finite element is introduced which embodies the inverse square root singularity present near a crack in an elastic medium. Using this element near the tip in two typical cracked configurations, stress intensity factors within 5 per cent of accepted values were obtained with meshes havi

A&met-The paper deals with the &rite element computation of the crack closure integrals (CCIs) and the stress intensity factors (SIFs) under mechanical and/or thermal loadings, which give rise to forces at nodes close to a crack tip region. Four examples are presented to illustrate the usefulness of
Materials which are cyclically stressed by sliding indenters often undergo fatigue wear, as surface breaking vertical cracks and subsurface horizontal cracks propagate causing eventual loss of material. In this study, the authors model crack propagation in an elastic-plastic material using finite el
