Theoretical and numerical investigations are made for crack path stability in a finite brittle solid under a predominantly Mode I loading condition. Based upon a first order perturbation solution, an "intermediate" range of stability (as compared with the "local" and "global'\* ranges) is introduced
A simple procedure is proposed that allows computing the stress intensity factors for slightly curved and kinked cracks in finite bodies. Basis of the method is the computation of the stress field around a straight crack under externally applied tractions. Then, this auxiliary crack is replaced by t
