Abstract
In this paper, the three-dimensional boundary element method and the J -integral are used to evaluate the stress intensity factors for cracks at attachment lugs. The configurations investigated were a single qua rter elliptical flaw and two symmetrical quarter elliptical cracks in a straight shanked lug. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
