Abstract
As fracture mechanics is evolving very rapidly, it is becoming more and more difficult for a designer to find an appropriate formula or solution for his problem among an overwhelming amount of fracture mechanics information. Although designs are carried out using only linearelastic fracture mechanics in most cases, it is still difficult because there are many complicated mathematical formula and because it is often the case that he has to combine several solutions in order to solve his problem. Therefore, if we could provide a system to where, when and how to use fracture mechanics in designs, it is expected that fracture mechanics will be used much more easily and therefore more extensively. This paper describes an attempt to develop such a system utilizing symbolic computation techniques.
