Abstract

This study proposes Genetic Progran1ming (GP) as a new tool for the analysis and formulation of the J-integral for the
opening mode offracture mechanics. The proposed GP formulation is based on extensive Finite Element (FE) results. A
GP based I-integral formulation for the three different geometries w
