Modeling three-dimensional crack propagation—A comparison of crack path tracking strategies
The development of a new finite element technique for the simulation of discontinuous failure phenomena in three dimensions is the key objective of this study. In contrast to the widely used extended finite element technique, we apply a purely deformation-based strategy based on an independent interpolation of the deformation field on both sides of the discontinuity. This method has been applie...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Crack Propagation Analysis Using Meshless Point Collocation Method
This paper presents a meshless point collocation method for three-dimensional crack propagation. The meshless point collocation method is based on direct discretization of strong-form governing equations to achieve a truly meshless scheme that does not require mesh structures or a numerical integration procedure. These characteristics of the point collocation method enable the direction of an a...
متن کاملA meshless method with enriched weight functions for three-dimensional crack propagation
The propagation of cracks in three dimensions is analyzed by a meshless method. The cracks are modeled by a set of triangles that are added when the propagation occurs. Since the method is meshless, no remeshing of the domain is necessary during the propagation. To avoid using a large number of degrees of freedom, the stress singularity along the front of the cracks is taken into account by an ...
متن کاملCrack avalanches in the three dimensional random fuse model
We analyze the scaling of avalanche precursors in the three dimensional random fuse model by numerical simulations. We find that both the integrated and nonintegrated avalanche size distributions are in good agreement with the results of the global load sharing fiber bundle model, which represents the mean-field limit of the model.
متن کاملDiscontinuous Crack Fronts of Three-Dimensional Fractures
– The relation between fracture surface morphology and the three-dimensional structure of crack fronts is investigated through direct observation of brittle cracks in gels. A key notion in this investigation is the discontinuity of the crack front, whose advancement creates the fracture surface. We discuss the significance of our findings in the studies of general three-dimensional brittle frac...
