MODELING QUASI-STATIC CRACK GROWTH WITH THE EXTENDED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD PART II: NUMERICAL APPLICATIONS (2003, methodology): “The numerical solution obtained on structured and unstructured meshes is in excellent agreement with the reference solution (Tada et al., 2000); the error is less than 1.”
Revisiting nucleation in the phase-field approach to brittle fracture (2020, background): “in Chapter 2 of the handbook by Tada et al. (1973) , for the critical tensile stress at which a preexisting single-edge crack of size a in a plate of width b and length L ≥ 3 b propagates.”
A model for turbulent hydraulic fracture and application to crack propagation at glacier beds (2010, neutral): “For this uniform pressure plane strain crack of (instantaneous) length 2L in a homogeneous medium, the crack opening profile is given by wU xð Þ ¼ 4DpinLE0 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 1 x̂2 p ; ð40Þ where, as before, x̂ ≡ x/L [see, e.g., Tada et al., 2000].”
