A least-squares approach for evaluating stress intensity factors from mixed-mode caustics

Abstract A least-squares approach for evaluating stress intensity factors from mixed-mode caustics is presented. The motivation for this work is first explained by illustrating the limitations of the commonly used method of principal diameters. It is then shown that the least-squares approach can be used successfully for different test cases including numerically and experimentally generated caustics.
