Kw. Kpegba et al., IMPROVEMENT OF STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS COMPUTED FROM PATH-INDEPENDENT INTEGRALS BY RICHARDSONS EXTRAPOLATION, Communications in numerical methods in engineering, 14(4), 1998, pp. 289-304
A new method for improving the approximations of stress intensity fact
ors computed from path-independent integrals is developed. The method
uses Richardson's extrapolation. Numerical results are given to show t
he efficiency and the stability of the present method. (C) 1998 John W
