✦ Synopsis

A direct superposition procedure is used in order to solve the problem of a generally cracked body: The regular field is generated by the finite element method whereas the singular field is by the singular integral equation method. This process, combined in a one-step technique, was applied to three typical plane problems of cracked sheets and the results are compared with those from other numerical methods.
