Abstract
An eigenfunction expansion is used to formulate the global element on the crack tip. The global-local finite element method employs both conventional finite element and classical Rayleigh-Ritz kinematic approach. The hybrid Ritz method not only preserves the finite element modelling capability but adds the advantage of using prior information regarding the anticipate behaviour of the particular problem. Thus, it is able to achieve better accuracy with fewer elements in comparison with conventional finite element. Several examples relative to crack problems are presented to demonstrate the global-local finite element method.
