Abstract It is shown that the MLPG method augmented with the enriched basis functions and either the visibility criterion or the diffraction criterion successfully predicts the singular stress fields near a crack tip. Results are presented for a single edge-cracked plate and a double edge-cracked plate with plate edges parallel to the crack axis loaded in tension, the single edge-cracked plate with one plate edge parallel to the crack axis clamped and the other loaded by tangential tractions, and for a double edge-notched plate with the side between the notches loaded in compression. For the first More >
