Abstract
The application of the J integral to problems involving large scale crack b ridging is discussed. Using some simple examples for which close form analy tical solutions exist, it is shown that there is a complete agreement betwe en analysis based on stress intensity factors and the J integral. A simple method for deriving the bridging law from J integral measurements is outlin ed.
