2. Benchmark solution#

2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution#

Boundary element method, with quadratic elements [bib1].

The calculation of \({K}_{I}\) and \({K}_{\mathrm{II}}\) is carried out by a contour integral (integral M [bib2]) in which the stresses and displacements calculated in the part are involved, as well as the stresses and displacements deduced from asymptotic solutions defined analytically, in which \({K}_{I}\) and \({K}_{\mathrm{II}}\) are alternately zero.

For comparison, the calculation of \(K\) is also performed by the virtual extension method.

2.2. Benchmark results#

The results of the reference solution are shown in the table below, for the various values of the angle and for the two ends of the crack, with

The relationship between the global energy return rate \(G\) and \({K}_{j}\) is written as follows [bib3]:

\(G=\beta ({K}_{I}^{2}+{K}_{\mathrm{II}}^{2})\)

with:

\(\beta \mathrm{=}\frac{1}{16C{h}^{2}(\alpha \pi )}(\frac{1+{\kappa }_{1}}{{\mu }_{1}}+\frac{1+{\kappa }_{2}}{{\mu }_{2}})\) and \(\begin{array}{c}{\kappa }_{i}\mathrm{=}\frac{3\mathrm{-}{\nu }_{i}}{1+{\nu }_{i}}\\ {\mu }_{i}\mathrm{=}\frac{{E}_{i}}{2(1+{\nu }_{i})}\\ \alpha \mathrm{=}\frac{1}{2\pi }\mathrm{ln}\left[(\frac{{\kappa }_{1}}{{\mu }_{1}}+\frac{1}{{\mu }_{2}}){(\frac{{\kappa }_{2}}{{\mu }_{2}}+\frac{1}{{\mu }_{1}})}^{\mathrm{-}1}\right]\end{array}\)

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution#

Estimated at less than 0.1%. It should be noted that the difference between the contour integrals method and the virtual extension method is generally less than 0.05%.
