Abstract

An element formulation is suggested to obtain variable order singularities simultaneously at the two neighbouring corner nodes of a 4-noded quadrilateral. The element is useful for modelling a kinked crack with small kink length. The accuracy is good and this is obtained at a substantially reduced computational cost. Case studies are presented to illustrate the usefulness and the accuracy obtainable.
