Abstract
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...
