Abstract
Three-dimensional shear mode fundamental fields in finite bodies with mixed boundary conditions are analyzed by a special finite element method for circular and elliptical cracks. A procedure for determining the Fourier coefficients of the stress intensity factor for circular cracks is presented. A special series is proposed to represent the computed crack face weight functions for elliptical cracks.
