Abstract
The usefulness of the finite element method for the computation of crack tip stress intensity factors is established. Although ordinary finite element methods lack the ability to represent crack tip stress singularity, meaningful values for crack tip stress intensity factors can be obtained by a simple process. The results are compared not only to the results of other analytical solutions, but additional correlation is made of two different fracture test specimen types.
