The finite element over-deterministic method to calculate the coefficients of crack tip asymptotic fields in anisotropic planes

This article applies the finite element over-deterministic (FEOD) method to determine the coefficients of the crack tip asymptotic fields in an anisotropic plane. This method relies on finding the best fit of the crack tip displacement equations to the displacements taken from a large number of nodes around the crack tip. We first revisit the asymptotic solution of crack tip fields in an anisotropic plane, followed by giving the exact solution...
