In the present study, a semi‐analytical asymptotic approach is used in order to analyse the change of total potential energy due to the initiation of a crack at a sharp re‐entrant corner. The semi‐analytical solution nature allows for reducing the numerical effort compared to a purely numerical treatment and provides a deeper physical insight into the fracture mechanics problem. Finally, the obtained asymptotic solutions are compared to numerical reference solutions. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
