Abstract

This paper presents a new method for obtaining approximate closed-form solutions for crack propagation problems. In general, it is not possible to obtain explicit solutions of the parameters and elementary functions of these problems, due to their terms complexity, present in their definitions. In this way, we used numerical methods to obtain approximate numerical solutions. The method presented in this article provides a proposal, which, when defined by differential equations, is applicable and extensible to other problems. The approximate solutions are obtained as an exact solution of a modified initial value problem. The performance is evaluated in relation to problems with known exact solution.
