Abstract
A reliable, efficient method is described for modelling plane cracks in arbitary residual stress fields, using the technique of distributed dislocations. This allows correctly for re-distribution of residual stresses as the crack grows. Problems where crack closure occur are discussed, and implications for solution by finite element procedures are inferred and confirmed by comparison.
