In this paper, a quick and efficient means of determining stress intensity factors, K~ and Kn, for cracks in generally orthotropic elastic bodies is presented using the numerical boundary integral equation (BIE) method. It is based on the use of quarter-point singular crack-tip elements in the quadr
