Weight Function Method for Stress Intensity Factors of Semi-Elliptical Surface Cracks on Functionally Graded Plates Subjected to Non-Uniform Stresses

In this paper, a weight function method based on the first four terms of a Taylor’s series expansion is proposed to determine the stress intensity factors of functionally graded plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks. Cracked surfaces that are subjected to constant, linear, parabolic and cubic s...
