The use of weight functions is a well-established technique for the solution of mechanics problems in structural engineering. Increasing use of these techniques is being made to solve crack problems. The special feature of crack problems in elasticity is the presence of a singular stress field at th

โฆ Synopsis
A Bueckner singular displacement field is incorporated into the boundary element method in order to calculate weight functions for mixed mode stress intensity factor in a two-dimensional cracked body. Weight functions for modes I and II can be calculated independently and hence the factors K~ and KI~" can be obtained for any arbitrary loading on any boundary. Results are obtained for some slant crack problems in finite sheets and compared with known results where available.

The concept of the Schwartz-Neumann alternating method, in conjunction with the boundary element method to solve for the stresses in an untracked body and an analytical solution for an embedded 2-D crack subjected to arbitrary crack face loading in an infinite domain, is used to determine the mixed-
