Williams Expansion Terms and their Importance for Accurate Stress Field Description in Specimens with a Crack [PDF]
The paper deals with an analysis of the stress and displacement fields in various cracked specimens (loaded in mode I as well as in mode II). The main goal is to determine an accurate approximation of the near-crack-tip fields which can be subsequently

Accurate determination of mode I and II leading coefficients of the Williams expansion by finite element analysis [PDF]
Leading coefficients of the Williams expansion are evaluated by using the fractal finite-element method (FFEM). By means of the self-similarity principle, an infinite number of elements is generated at the vicinity of the crack tip to model the crack tip singularity.

Edge singularities and structure of the 3-D Williams expansion
The elastic solution in a vicinity of a re-entrant wedge can be described by a Williams like expansion in terms of powers of the distance to a point on the edge. This expansion has a particular structure due to the invariance of the problem by translation parallel to the edge.

Photoelastic study of a double edge notched plate for determination of the Williams series expansion
In this work, digital photoelasticity method is applied for assessment of the crack tip linear fracture mechanics parameters for a plate with double edge notches and different other crack configurations. The overarching objective of the study is to obtain the coefficients of the Williams series expansion for the stress and displacement fields in the ...
