In the present study, weight functions (WFs) of a subsurface crack were derived by proposing a new general form for approximate one-dimensional WF. The WFs coefficients were considered as a function of crack length to depth ratio and were obtained using reference stress intensity factors (SIFs) of 16 cracks under uniform, linear, and parabolic normal and shearing loadings. The verification was performed by comparison of the straight and coupled SIFs calculated by WF and finite element modelling under some complicated loadings. In conclusion, the WFs can be simply and effectively employed for evaluating the cracks under any complex stress distributions.
