✦ Synopsis

The calculation of stress intensity factors for complicated crack configurations in finite plates usually presents substantial difficulty. A version of the finite element method solves such problems approximately by means of special cracked elements. A general procedure for evaluating the stiffness matrix of a cracked element is developed, and numerical results obtained by the simplest elements are compared with those provided by other methods.

## Abstract Finite element methods are used to calculate the stress intensity factors for three‐dimensional geometries containing a number of depths of crack subjected to various loads. Special elements are used at the tip to represent the variation of the displacement with respect to the square ro
