Theoretical aspects of fracture mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the dominant singular near crack tip stress field can often be parametrised in terms of three parameters K1, KII and KIII designating three fracture modes each having an angular variation entirely specified for the stress tensor and displacement vector.

Short cracks and V-notches: Finite Fracture Mechanics vs. Cohesive Crack Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors corroborate the Finite Fracture Mechanics approach by showing that failure load estimates are very close to the ones provided by the well-established Cohesive Crack Model.

The edge-cracked circular disc under symmetric pin-loading
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of determining the resulting stress field throughout the disc is solved analytically in closed form in each case, and the respective stress intensity factors are given exactly by where K+(0), K+(i) are constants whose values areK+(0) = 0.966528,K+(i), K(i) =0.355715,correct to 6 decimal places.

Some stress intensity factors for self-similar cracks, derived from path-independent integrals
TL;DR: In this article, a new method of computing stress intensity factors for self-similar cracks in the plane is discussed, based on some known path-independent integrals whose forms make them suited for use in elastic fields showing expansional invariance.

Analysis of Cracks Related to Rock Fragmentation
TL;DR: In the late 1960's, fracture mechanics was seldom used in the analysis of rock fragmentation problems as mentioned in this paper and Griffith's theory of fracture and the term fracture mechanics in passing but not any applications to fragmentation.

A crack perpendicular to an elastic half-plane
TL;DR: An exact solution for an elastic half-plane containing a crack perpendicular to the free surface, when the faces of the crack are subjected to a particular, but rather general, distribution of pressure is given in this paper.
