Numerical Generation of Mode I Stress Intensity Factors for Narrow Elliptical Cracks in Round Bars
Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) allows for the analysis of crack propagation by combining remote stress fields in the solid with stress intensity factors (SIFs) obtained for specific crack configurations. To date, the use of tabulated SIFs has greatly facilitated the calculation of crack propagation in vario...
