Institution Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Date 1984-01-31 Abstract The compounding methods for calculating stress intensity factors for complex geometrical configurations are re-examined. It is shown that techniques which were developed specifically for problems involving localized loads, eg a pin-loaded hole with a crack at its edge, can also be used when the loading is remote from the crack. When this is done for cracks at unloaded holes, the compounding equations are as simple as those previously derived from a different technique. However, less additional calculations are now needed and numerical tests show that there is no loss of accuracy. These advantages make the new procedures preferable to those used in the earlier compounding method.
