Abstract A boundary element procedure is presented for calculating weight functions for three-dimensional cracks with a smooth front. The weight function for the particular point at the crack front is represented as a sum of regular and singular parts. The known weight function for a circular crack in an infinite body is used as the singular part. The boundary integral equation is formulated for the regular part of the weight function in the vicinity of considered crack front point and for the whole weight function for the rest of the body. A discretized form of the boundary integral equation is given. Some examples are provided to test the accuracy of the proposed procedure.
