Abstract (EN): The line spring model and its implementation in the finite element program ABAQUS are reviewed. The line spring capabilities in that program are used to analyze some part-through crack configurations, namely a semi-elliptic surface crack, a quarter-circular corner crack at a hole and an example of a complex damage scenario. Results are compared with three-dimensional solutions from other authors.
