The virtual crack extension technique is a very cfficient and accurate approach to fracture mechanics calculations in the numerical analysis of bodies containing cracks using the finite element method. A few variations of the technique have been described in the literature, and have been extensively
The equation for evaluating the nonlinear fracture mechanics parameters J-and jintegrals are derived using the virtual crack extension method. The validity of the equations derived here are checked by solving several numerical examples, that is, the J-integral analyses of compact tension specimen an
This paper presents a generalized 3D virtual crack extension (VCE) technique for dete~ining the distribution of the maximum energy release rate along a general 3D crack front. The method alows for VCEs at any inclination to the local crack plane, By taking the component of the extension in the crack
## Abstract Based on results of a previous paper [1] a general formula for the development of the shape of surface cracks is presented. In case of tension an analytical solution is presented, which allows a very easy parameter study. For other loading conditions solutions can be obtained, using num
