Abstract
Using the 3D virtual crack closure technique, an interface element that can calculate stress intensity factors (SIFs) directly has been developed and implemented into ABAQUS with its user-defined element (UEL) feature. Then use this method to study the surface crack in connecting rod, and the SIFs along the crack are given.
