Abstract:

New information is given concerning the APES finite element computer program for fracture mechanics and stress analysis of two-dimensional and axisymmetric structures. Described are useful new capabilities which have been added to the program as well as the additional input parameters necessary for their application. The report takes the form of a complete revision of the appendix of the original APES documentation. Author
