This work applies a two-state interaction integral to obtain stress intensity factors along
cracks in three-dimensional functionally graded materials. The procedures are applicable to …

Three-dimensional enriched finite elements are used to compute mixed-mode stress
intensity factors (SIFs) for three-dimensional cracks in elastic functionally graded materials …

Cracks in stepped and continuously graded material specimens under flexural loading were
investigated via finite element analysis. Calculation of mechanical energy release rates and …

The present investigation is devoted to a problem of the interaction of two edge cracks
inclined arbitrary to the boundary of a non-homogeneous half-plane, which is a functionally …
