Boundary force method analyses of notched plates with cracksThe boundary-force method developed by Tan (1985) and Tan et al. (1986) is extended to two-dimensional mixed boundary-value problems in fracture mechanics. The formulation is explained in detail, and results are presented in tables and graphs for sample problems involving an edge crack emanating from a semielliptical and a semicircular notch and an edge crack emanating from a V notch. The accuracy of the approach is demonstrated by comparisons with collocation solutions for an edge-clamped center-cracked tension specimen.
