Review text

In this paper a simple method for developing special elements for modelling point singularities is suggested. The proposed elements are direct extension of Williams eigenvalues for different vertex angles. Three numerical examples for cracked plates are used in the calculation of stress intensity factors for linear fracture mechanics problems. The solutions compare favourably with those obtained by using the quarter- point crack-tip elements. The use of the proposed elements preserves all the advantages of the finite element method.
