An efficient and accurate method for computation of energy release rates in beam structures with longitudinal cracks

[Display omitted] •We present a method for the computation of energy release rates in beams.•The method is applicable to beams with long, longitudinal cracks.•A beam model and a finite element based cross section analysis tool are used.•Energy release rates are computed using the Virtual Crack Closu...
