[en] The Method assumes linear elastic material behavior, but takes into account the changes of geometry due to applied load. Such a formulation makes it possible to study the change of the crack tip geometry and its effect on the local stress and displacement fields during the process of static loading. The solution obtained for a sharp crack provides finite stresses and strains at the crack tip, which becomes blunt soon after application of the load. Closed from displacement solution is also obtained. A finite element commercial code, ANSYS, is used to simulate the crack behavior on a remote tension stress. It is shown that the displacement solution obtained form the present method agrees very well with Finite Element Method solution. However, because of high stress gradient close to the tip, the stress given by Finite Element Method at the tip is not reliable. A method is proposed which uses the Finite Element Method to obtain the final shape of the crack along with the closed from stress solution presented here. Results from present solution are used to predict the plastic zone size based on Irwin method of LEFM. It is shown that prediction of plastic zone provided by the stress distribution of the present solution is in good agreement with the experimental results
