Abstract

A Bueckner singular displacement field is incorporated into the boundary element method in order to calculate weight functions for mixed mode stress intensity factor in a two-dimensional cracked body. Weight functions for modes I and II can be calculated independently and hence the factors KI and KII can be obtained for any arbitrary loading on any boundary. Results are obtained for some slant crack problems in finite sheets and compared with known results where available.
