In this paper, we extend our investigation to the derivation of the SIF extraction formulas of the biharmonic equation in non-convex polygonal domains containing cracks or reentrant corners when various BC such as clamped (CC), simply supported (SS), free (FF), or mixed conditions (CS, FC, SF) are imposed on the boundary. We prove that the SIF is expressed as the integral of f Psi s(k)* - u delta(2)Psi s(k)* for a cut-off function psi and a dual singular function s(k)* on a small neighborhood of the singularity. The dual singular function is determined in this paper. For a numerical approximation of u, we proposed an iteration method as well as a direct finite element method. For a finite element solution of delta(2)u = f, we have to use C-1-continuous basis functions. For continuous differentiable basis functions, we use either C-1 continuous B-spline basis functions or the conventional Hermite basis function. Because of several advantages of B-spline functions in imposing complex boundary conditions, we choose B-spline basis functions for the finite element approximation of u. Moreover, in the direct numerical method, we propose to use implicitly enriched basis functions that resemble the singularities.en10.1016/j.camwa.2022.01.028info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessStress Intensity FactorBiharmonic Equations With Corner SingularitiesC-1-Continuous Basis FunctionIterative MethodEnriched Galerkin MethodArticle109235259Q1WOS:0007898726000012-s2.0-85123787879Q1
