Practically exact solutions of stress intensity factor for several two-dimensional standard specimens were calculated and shown in numeric tables. The solutions were confirmed to converge until 6 significant figures through a systematical computation of discretization analysis. The convergence analyses were carried out by using a general purpose program based on a body force method.

In this study, the stress intensity factor (SIF) of an interface kinked crack is analyzed by the singular integral equation of the body force method. The problem can be expressed by distributing the body force doublets of the tension and shear types along all the boundaries of the kinked and interface crack parts. The SIFs can be obtained directly from the densities of the body force doublets at the crack tips. Although the problem has already been calculated using the crack connection model, the accuracy of the analysis has not been clarified. From the analysis results in this study, it can be seen that the SIFs calculated by the crack connection model have a nonnegligible error, and the present method gives more accurate results. The advantage of the present method is that the SIFs of the kinked and the interface crack tips can be obtained at the same time with high accuracy.
