A New Displacement-based Approach to Calculate Stress Intensity Factors With the Boundary Element Method

Abstract The analysis of cracked brittle mechanical components considering linear elastic fracture mechanics is usually reduced to the evaluation of stress intensity factors (SIFs). The SIF calculation can be carried out experimentally, theoretically or numerically. Each methodology has its own adva...
