Use the three-parameter zone finite element method or the boundary collocation method to calculate the stress intensity factor K, at the crack tip for the plate shown in the right figure, for r/W=0.4 and a/(W-r) ={0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9}, where r is the radius of the hole. Compare the numerical results with the lecture discussions on Example. You can choose whatever value is appropriate for a, W, t, and h, assume the plate is under plane strain condition.
