โฆ Synopsis
For the application of the weight function method the crack opening displacements for a reference case have to be known. An approximate method to derive the crack opening field from the stress intensity factor was proposed by Petroski and Achenbach [Engng Fracture Me&. 10,257 (1978)J. The limited accuracy of their method becomes evident in cases where the stresses differ strongly from the homogeneous loading case (D = const.). By expanding the crack opening displacement field in a power series it is demonstrated here how the approximative solutions can be improved by simple additional conditions.

In conjunction with the quarter-point element, a wide range of stress intensity factor computation techniques may be employed. Of these, the displacement correlation technique (DCT) and the quarterpoint displacement technique (QPDT) have been in common use. It has been suggested by various investiga
