(13) and (14) is not trivial. In order to achieve that, the Cartesian coordinates ( x , y ) were change into parametrical coordinates ( a , θ ), relating themselves through the expressions: cos x b θ  (15) sin y a θ  (16) where the correspondence between angles δ and θ , deducted from Fig. 3, is as follows, tan tan y a δ θ x b   (17)   b h y x Figure 3 : Relationship between δ and θ angles. The differential of the ellipse area modelling the crack advance is:   d d d A x y (18) differentiating the coordinates ( x , y ) according to the new coordinates ( a , θ ), d ( )cos d - sin d x b a θ a b θ θ  (19) d sin d cos d y θ a a θ θ   (20) and substituting these expressions on the Eq.

(21) can be found in the previous knowledge of the variation of the parameter b with the crack depth a . The definition of the derivative at a point can be used to this purpose, ( ) - ( ) ( ) b a a b a b a a      (22) Introducing Eq. (21) in Eq.
