Crack paths in three-dimensional elastic solids. II: Three-term expansion of the stress intensity factors -- applications and perspectives (Q1302986)

[For part I, see the foregoing entry (the reader has to study both papers simultaneously).] The main contribution is the introduction of three-term expansion for the functional \({\mathcal L}\) which defines the stress intensity factor (for notation see the review of part I): \[ \begin{multlined} {\mathcal L} [R,\mathbb{C}, \Gamma,\varphi, \varphi',a^*, C^*, \varepsilon \eta,\eta'/ \eta;{\mathcal T}]= {\mathcal L}^* [R,\mathbb{C}, \Gamma,\varphi; {\mathcal T}]+\\ +{\mathcal L}^{(1/2)} [R,\mathbb{C}, \Gamma,\varphi, a^*;{\mathcal T}] \sqrt{\varepsilon \eta}+{\mathcal L}^{(1)} [R,\mathbb{C}, \Gamma,\varphi, \varphi',a^*, C^*,\eta'\eta; {\mathcal T}] \varepsilon\eta +O (\varepsilon^{3/2}).\end{multlined} \] Under these assumptions, there are repeated the derivations from part I. From the physical point of view, it is achieved not much.
