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. On the interface between

โฆ Synopsis
The plane elastic problem for a finite plate with a curved crack is considered. Uniform external tension on the outer boundary is chosen as the applied load. The stress intensity factors at the crack tips are calculated by using the boundary collocation method. The results obtained by this method compare favourably with the existing solutions for the infinite cases. Solutions for the finite plates are given to show the effects of the dimensions.
