Abstract
For the solution to any fracture or crack growth problem the analyst must know the geometry factors for either K, J, or both, for the structural crack of interest. Geometry factors for many generic configurations already have been obtained and compiled in handbooks [1, 2, 3]. This can be done a priori for generic loading and geometries, but actual structural details are often unique so that ready made handbook solutions cannot be expected to be available.
