Numerical Simulation of Cracking Processes in Dissimilar Media

چکیده
This paper presents a novel numerical technique to simulate the crack propagation process for inhomogeneous solids. The criteria of crack growth and path selection are expressed in terms of some simple functions of fracture energy and loading phase angle. The energy release rate and loading phase angle for mixed mode cracks are evaluated by the ®nite element method with a mesh-adaptive technique. Examples are considered to show that the method is eective for simulating and predicting crack paths in inhomogeneous solids. They include crack growth or kinking in bi-materials and damage processes of ®ber-reinforced composites .

Break fill-dam simulation using GeoStudio (case study: Safarood earth dam, Kerman)
One of the main reason of earth-dam breaks is inner erosion which is caused by washing fine soil particles and finally lead to seepage inside the dam. Seepage will decrease effective tension in the earth-dam's core and arching phenomena is occurred. More settlement of core than to shell is the consequence of arching and occurrence of cracking. In this paper, GeoStudio software based on finite e...

متن کاملEffect of Welding Heat Input on the Intermetallic Compound Layer and Mechanical Properties in Arc Welding-brazing Dissimilar Joining of Aluminum Alloy to Galvanized Steel
The effect of weld heat input on the formation of intermetallic compound (IMCs) layer during arc welding–brazing of aluminium and steel dissimilar alloys, was investigated through both finite element method (FEM) numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The results of FEM analysis as well as welding experiments indicated that increasing weld heat input increases the thickness of IMC...
متن کاملA Comparative Evaluation of Welding Consumables for Dissimilar Welds between 310 Austenitic Stainless Steel and Inconel 657
The current work was carried out to characterize welding of AISI 310 austenitic stainless steel to Inconel 657 nickel-chromium superalloy. The welds were produced using four types of filler materials; the nickel-based corresponding to Inconel 82, Inconel A, Inconel 617 and austenitic stainless steels 310. Of the two joints involved, this paper describes the choice of welding consumables for the...
