At the local cover j C , a discrete error norm is defined as M k k j k j j lb j u u 1 0 ( ) ( ) ( ) x x u Φ x (18) where , , , 1 [ 1 1 j j j j j j j j j x x x x x Φ ] , j j M j M x x (19) j x is the coordinate of node j . Similarly, the y-displacement interpolation ( )x lb j v is given by M k k j k j j lb j v v 1 0 ( ) ( ) ( ) x x V Φ x (20) where 0 20 10 0 M j v v v V (21) Eq.

The MSIM possesses the delta property and preserves the completeness of the field up to the order of the basis. The proof of these properties can be referred to [11]. 3. The application of virtual crack closure technique in MSIM Virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) is proposed by Rybicki and Kanninen [10] mainly dealing with two dimensional problems. In this method, the strain energy release rate for the crack propagation is always calculated based on the FEM analysis results. Here, taking a finite crack body as an example, the basic concept of virtual crack closure technique will be briefly introduced. The length of crack is a, and the propagation length is ∆ܽ .
