It is assumed that the growth can be reasonably described by a family of curves for which solutions of the driving parameter (e.g. K 1) are known. By minimizing the squared error of the velocity prediction, a method for formulating the growth equations is obtained in terms of the parameters defining the succession of shapes. Explicit results are given for elliptical cracks. Two sample problems concerning the growth of a surface crack are considered.
