A calculation procedure for plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks under tension and bending with aspect ratios of d c 5 0.2 and arbitrary relative crack depths d t is presented. For the computation an improved line spring model is used. K,-values are calculated along the crack contour. For the

In this paper, the three-dimensional boundary element method and the J-integral are used to evaluate the stress intensity factors for cracks at attachment lugs. The configurations investigated were a single quarter elliptical flaw and two symmetrical quarter elliptical cracks in a straight shanked l
## A B S T R A C T A method of calculating stress intensity factors for branched and bent cracks embedded in an infinite body has been developed. The branches are always assumed to be sharp cracks and are modelled by dislocation distributions. The original crack may be either sharp or of elliptica
A method using, photoelastic coatings and high speed photography is described for determining K1C values for brittle cracks propagating through mild steel plates, The increase of K1C with crack velocity at high crack velocities is discussed,
