Abstract A classical alternating iteration method is applied to evaluate the stress intensity factors for a mixed oriented crack approaching semi-infinite plane or a straight crack. Conventional Gaussian-Legedre quadrature scheme is employed for the numerical integration in the crack vs. free boundary interacting problems; however, averaged image stresses along crack surfaces are invoked to simplify the alternating procedures in crack vs. crack interaction. Good correlation was achieved between the iterated solutions and the available solutions in the literature. As crack approach the free semi-infinite plane, mode I affect increases, however, maximum mode II stress intensity factors may shift to the lower… More >
