β¦ Synopsis
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 the crack tip element and conventional elements, the nodal displacements are made compatible by the matrix method. The stress intensity factor Ki is obtained through the solution of generalized nodal displacements. The results of calculation of examples show that the accuracy and the calculating speed are satisfactory.

## Abstract Displacement formulated singular elements are compared to isoparametric quarterβnode elements. The total stress and displacement solution for each element is decomposed into singular and regular components for evaluating stress intensity factors. Specific relationships between nodal dis
Although there are many kinds of finite element method for determining the stress intensity factor, the problem is still very complicated because of the existence of the singularity at the crack tip. In this paper the superposition of the ordinary finite element method on the singularity terms is ap
