  title = {Comments on the Evaluation of the Stress Intensity Factor for a General Re-Entrant Corner in Anisotropic Bi-Materials},
  abstract = {This paper illustrates an efficient contour integral procedure to obtain stress intensity factors in combination of the asymptotic analysis with finite element analysis. Note that this set-up is very general: the material can be anisotropic elastic, and the specimen can be built as a bi-material system, notches of arbitrary opening angle can be analyzed (\gamma = 0 \rightarrow crack, \gamma = 180{\textdegree} \rightarrow free edge). The purpose of this technical note is to comment on three issues in the notch mechanics: the interpretation of the eigenvalue equation, the definition of stress intensity factors, and the effect of the outer contour location on H-integral evaluations.},
