The virtual crack extension technique is a very cfficient and accurate approach to fracture mechanics calculations in the numerical analysis of bodies containing cracks using the finite element method. A few variations of the technique have been described in the literature, and have been extensively
The equation for evaluating the nonlinear fracture mechanics parameters J-and jintegrals are derived using the virtual crack extension method. The validity of the equations derived here are checked by solving several numerical examples, that is, the J-integral analyses of compact tension specimen an
A new direct-integration technique for the virtual crack extension method which employs variational theory in the finite element formulation is presented. Similar techniques to derive explicit integral forms of the energy release rate have been introduced by deLorenzi [1] and Haber and Koh [2]; howe
