Calculation of J-Integral and Stress Intensity Factors using the Material Point Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Material Point Method (MPM), which is a particle-based, meshless method that discretizes material bodies into a collection of material points (the particles), is a new method for numerical analysis of dynamic solid mechanics problems. Recently, MPM has been generalized to include dynamic stress analysis of structures with explicit cracks. This paper considers evaluation of crack-tip parameters, such as J-integral and stress intensity factors, from MPM calculations involving explicit cracks. Examples for both static and dynamic problems for pure modes I and II or mixed mode loading show that MPM works well for calculation of fracture parameters. The MPM results agree well with results obtained by other numerical methods and with analytical solutions. keyword: Material point method (MPM), dynamic fracture, J integral, stress intensity factor.

Stress Intensity Factor Determination in Functionally Graded Materials, Considering Continuously Varying of Material Properties
In this paper, the plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) with and without a crack are numerically simulated, employing the finite element method (FEM). The material property variations are defined to be fully continuous; therefore, the elements can be as small as required. For this purpose, variations of the material properties are applied in both the integration points and in the n...
