Over-deterministic method: The influence of rounding numbers on the accuracy of the values of Williams’ expansion terms by Vladimir Ruzicka, Lucie Malikova, Stanislav Seitl

“…Crack tip stress tensor components are expressed using the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory in this work, more precisely via its multi-parameter formulation, i.e. by Williams’ power series (WPS). Determination of the coefficients of the terms of this series is performed using the least squaresbased regression technique known as the over-deterministic method (ODM), for which displacements data obtained numerically in software ANSYS are taken as inputs. …”
