The object of this research project is to develop a useful tool for the         purpose of modeling linear elastic fracture propagation in complex,             three-dimensional structures.  The boundary element method has been             shown to be advantageous for the modeling of stresses in certain types          of domains, while the finite element method is superior for other types         of domains.  The proposed code would combine, for the first time, the           boundary element and the finite element methods in a single code.               Along with the development of an analysis code, an interactive,                 computer graphical "fracture propagation process" would be developed.           This processor would perform preprocessing and post-processing                  functions, and would invoke the analysis program each time an analysis          step was required.
