Abstract
A boundary element analysis of crack growth for a linear mixed-mode center slant crack problem is presented in this article. The analysis was performed using multidomain boundary element scheme and quadratic quarter point boundary elements on each side of the crack. The crack growth direction is predicted by the maximum principal stress theory, however the Crack Surface Relative Displacement (CSRD) method is used to eliminate the calculation of the stress intensity factors which are normally required. The BEM results showed good agreement with the analytical and a very fine mesh FEM solutions.
