This book provides a systematic and
standardized approach based on the authors’ over 30
years of research experience with weight function methods, as well
as the relevant literature. Fracture mechanics has become an
indispensable tool for the design and safe operation of
damage-tolerant structures in many important technical areas. The
stress intensity factor—the characterizing parameter of the crack
tip field—is the foundation of fracture mechanics analysis. The
weight function method is a powerful technique for determining
stress intensity factors and crack opening displacements for
complex load conditions, with remarkable computational efficiency
and high accuracy. The book presents the theoretical background of
the weight function methods, together with a wealth of analytical
weight functions and stress intensity factors for two- and
three-dimensional crack geometries; many of these have been
incorporated into national, international standards and industrial
codes of practice. The accuracy of the results is rigorously
verified, and various sample applications are provided.
Accordingly, the book offers an ideal reference source for graduate
students, researchers, and engineers whose work involves fracture
and fatigue of materials and structures, who need not only stress
intensity factors themselves but also efficient and reliable tools
for obtaining them.
