Abstract
Over the past decade, numerous analytical solutions of crack problems have appeared in the open literature [1]. A great number of these solutions are concerned with idealized crack geometries in plane or axisymmetric elasticity. However, only a few problems involving the interaction of cracks with neighboring boundaries have been solved satisfactorily. In situations where the crack intersects a free edge or surface, the method of solution becomes much more difficult and requires special attention. The advent of computers has no doubt facilitated the numerical computation of stress distributions around cracks. Without them, many of the tedious calculations would not be attempted. The alternating method is one which intimately combines analytical results with the numerical calculations.
