An energetic contour path integral (called J) was independent of the path around a crack. The J-integral is equal to the strain energy release rate for a crack in a body subjected to monotonic loading. This is generally true, under quasi-static conditions, only for linear elastic materials. For materials that experience small-scale yielding at the crack tip, J can be used to compute the energy release rate under special circumstances such as monotonic loading in mode…
