Review text

A numerical procedure was developed for the approximate weight function (WF) evaluation of reliable stress intensity factor (SIF) for part- through mode I cracks for general load. This procedure requires only limited number of discrete SIF solutions, directly obtained from other numerical methods as reference SIFs, to compute continuous SIFs as function of both the crack size and the location along the crack front.

Recommendations

• A direct determination of weight functions for arbitrary three-dimensional cracks - a combined analytical and numerical approach
• Computation of weight functions for three-dimensional cracks by the boundary element method
• Calculation of approximate weight functions in fracture mechanics by FEM
• A general method of constructing three-dimensional weight functions for elastic bodies with cracks
