Crack Interaction Studies Using XFEM Technique
In this paper, edge crack problems under mechanical loads have been analysed using extended finite element method (XFEM) as it has proved to be a competent method for handling problems with discontinuities. The XFEM provides a versatile technique to model discontinuities in the solution domain without re-meshing or conformal mesh. The stress intensity factors (SIF) have been calculated by domai...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Semi-Elliptical Axial Crack in Pipe Bend Using XFEM
In this work, XFEM is employed to obtain the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of a semi elliptical part through thickness axial crack. In XFEM, additional functions are employed to enrich the displacement approximation using partition of unity approach. Level set functions are approximated using higher order shape functions in the crack front elements to ensure the accurate modeling of the crack...
متن کاملCrack Growth during Brittle Fracture
Title: Crack Growth During Brittle Fracture in Compression. Author: Bartlett W. Paulding, Jr. Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics February 9, 1965 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Photoelastic analysis of several two-crack arrays predicts that compressive fracture is initiated at cra...
متن کاملNUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF STOPPING HOLES IN THE CRACK GROWTH
The fracture and crack growth of mechanical structures is a usual phenomenon which is due to the application of tensile, cyclic loading or thermal stresses on the structure. So introducing of methods to prevent the crack growth is useful. Afterward, one of the repairing methods of crack growth, consisting to make a hole in the crack tip to elimi-nate the sharp corners, was explained. This metho...
متن کاملDurability Prediction Using Automatic Crack Growth Simulation
In order to be competitive aerospace companies need to produce cheaper, stronger, safer and more durable products. Environmental pressures have also highlighted the need to minimise the use of energy and the need for lighter vehicles. All these objectives have to be achieved while maintaining safety and durability. At the same time there is a worldwide trend towards operating aircraft beyond th...
