title = "Fast and accurate fatigue crack growth analysis with the Boundary Cracklet Method",
abstract = "In this study, a simple crack growth emanating from a series of polygon shaped holes in an infinite plate is analysed by using the Boundary Cracklet Method (BCM) which has already proved that it is fast and accurate. The fatigue crack growth is assumed to follow Paris-Erdogan Law. Polygon shaped holes are modelled using four-sided regular polygons (square and rhombus) whose sides are created by straight cracks in the subtle implementation of the method. The study is performed via graphs and tables to demonstrate the ability of BCM in the analysis of fatigue crack growth for the given configurations.",
