T. Fett, A SEMIANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE EDGE-CRACKED CIRCULAR DISC BY USE OF THE BOUNDARY COLLOCATION METHOD, Engineering fracture mechanics, 56(3), 1997, pp. 331-346
The edge-cracked circular disc is investigated using the boundary coll
ocation method. A large number of coefficients for a series expansion
of the Airy stress function will be determined and their general behav
iour will be analysed. Based on these coefficients, weight functions w
ill be derived and an analytical near-tip weight function proposed. Co
