This work describes the analytical evaluation of the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) for four specimens subjected to a stress of 15 MPa and a crack length of 25 mm. Subsequently, numerical simulations are performed using the software ANSYS® to obtain the SIF values for the analytically studied specimens. Additionally, the stress fields σx, σy, τxy, σMax, σMin and σVon Mises in the vicinity of the crack tip are shown. Subsequently, the percentage of variation of the analyses previously performed is calculated, with positive results in all cases (< 0.4 %). Therefore, it can be asserted that the use of the Finite Element Method (FEM) through the ANSYS® program is reliable for the solution of fracture problems. In addition, the numerical work performed can provide some guidelines to improve the estimation of the SIF in two-dimensional problems.
