A Hamiltonian system is first established by introducing dual (conjugate) variables of displacements and stresses whose solutions are expanded in terms of the symplectic series. With the aid of the adjoint symplectic orthogonality, coefficients of the series are determined by the boundary conditions along the crack faces and along the external geometry. Analytical solutions of SIFs and T-stress are obtained simultaneously. Numerical examples including the complex mixed boundary conditions are given. Factors influencing the SIFs are discussed.enjournal article10.1016/j.engfracmech.2013.03.007
