Although the potential influence of higher order terms on crack growth and stability is known, classical studies solely rely on first order stress intensity factors. We calculate higher order Williams coefficients using an integral technique based on conjugate work integrals and study the convergence with increasing crack tip distance. We compare the integral method to the state-of-the-art fitting method and provide results for higher-order terms with several crack lengths, external forces, and sizes for widely used middle tension, single-edge cracked tension, and compact tension specimen under mode-I loading.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.04395v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.04395v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"advanced-crack-tip-field-characterization","repo_url":"https://github.com/dlr-wf/advanced_crack_tip_field_characterization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
