Abstract
The finite element method is applied to a series of three dimensional cracked configurations as proposed at the Three Dimensional Fracture Analysis Workshop at Battelle Columbus, in 1976. Results for these cases are presented showing crack opening displacements and stress intensity factors around the crack profiles, derived using several methods, for values of Poisson's ratio equal to both 0.3 and 0.49. The semicircular crack mesh was also applied to the embedded circular crack problem, for which an analytical solution exists, and agreement within 1% and 3% was obtained for Poisson's ratio equal to 0.3 and 0.49 respectively, demonstrating the accuracy of the chosen meshes and evaluation techniques.
