The application of the finite element method to fracture mechanics problems

A new finite element which adequately represents the character of the strains near the crack-tip is presented. The element is based on displacement functions, derived from, assumed simple strain functions, by integrating the strain - displacement equations. The resulting displacement functions conta...
