Abstract A transfer function that converts an irregularly shaped two-dimensional crack into an equivalent circular crack of equal propagation lifetime is proposed. The methodology extends the exact elliptical to circular crack transfer function to other noncircular cracks with geometries that slightly deviate from the elliptical. Results for rectangular, symmetric dumbbell, and asymmetric dumbbell cracks are presented.
