Abstract

Fractal two level finite element method (F2LFEM) has been extended to calculate the mixed mode stress intensity factor in a two-displacement cracked body. The complete eigenfunction expansion of displacement by Williams is employed for the global interpolation function, the factors KI and KII can be easily computed for any arbitrary loading on any boundary. Results are obtained for some slant crack problems in finite sheets and are compared with known results where available. © 1995.
