The eigenvector solution for a general corner or finite opening crack with further studies on the collocation procedure

The form of the eigenvector solution for a general corner or finite opening crack is examined for both real and complex eigenvalues using a complex potential approach. An overdetermined collocation algorithm to calculate the coefficients associated with eigenvectors for both the real and complex eigenvalues is presented. The algorithm is tested on a problem of known solution.
