This paper describes some recent applications of the three dimensional
finite element alternating method (FEAM). The problems solved involve
surface flaws in various types of structure. They illustrate how the
FEAM can be used to analyze problems involving mechanical and thermal
loads, residual stresses, bonded to composite patch repairs, and fatig
ue.
