โฆ Synopsis
A procedure is developed for determining the stress intensity factors in cracked polygonal plates. The method uses eigenfunctions of angular regions and satisfies the boundary conditions exactly. Westergaard's stress functions are used to satisfy the boundary conditions at the crack. Numerical results are given. a half length of crack E elastic modulus u, L' radial and tangential displacements r, 0 polar coordinates lj = v/l + v NOTATION 1 root of transcendental equation v Poisson's ratio O. T normal and shear stress Z,(z) stress functions z=x+iy

A numerical technique for simple and efficient integration of weight functions is presented. The method enables the stress intensity factors to be calculated with the aid of a hand calculator for any non-linear stress distribution normal to the crack surfaces. The proposed integration routine is val
Thermal shock stress intensity factor for an edge-cracked plate subjected to thermal shock is obtained from Bueckner's weight function method. It is shown that thermal shock stress intensity factor has maximum values with variation of time and crack length and that there is a critical crack length.
A circular element centered at the crack tip is constructed. According to the first four terms of Williams stress function, the displacement pattern with singularity is given to the circular element, where unknown parameters are considered as generalized nodal displacements.

THE sraxss distribution in a plate into which a crack is generated has been studied by many investigators. The most earlier contri&tuions are due to Inglis[ll, who studied the stresses around an elliptic hole in an iu8nite plate and to Westergaard [2], who treated the crack problem by the complex. v
The calculation of stress intensity factor for a sharp V-notch is done from the limiting value of stress concentration factors as the root radius of the same V-notch rounded at the tip approaches zero. The stress analysis is carried out using the complex variable formulation of Muskhelishvili and th
