are listed in Table 2, in which the convergence study on the num-

the results from Ref. [32] as benchmark, it is shown that when 17

when the number of export nodes increases to 31, the relative
errors are negligible. The contours of heat flux densities are shown
in Fig. 8, in which the heat fluxes distribution are very clear and
strong concentrations in the vicinity of crack tip can easily be
observed.

refinement around crack tips are not necessary and the solving effi-
ciency is therefore improved. For the multi-material cracks with
special configurations and material combinations, an interesting
singularity invariant which is independent on crack orientation is
proven to exist. Numerical studies on some typical cracked
multi-material structures are given to demonstrate the application
of the proposed SASE. Convergence studies have shown that in the
proposed SASE 31 nodes are required to ensure the solving accu-
racy. The developed method can be further extended for thermal
