Present study deals with the prediction of crack initiation angle for mixed mode (I/II) fracture using finite element techniques and J-Integral based approach. The FE code ANSYS is used to estimate the stress intensity factor numerically. The estimated values of SIF were incorporated into six different crack initiation angle criteria to predict the crack initiation angle. Single edge crack spec...

Abstract The J -integral is in its original formulation expressed as a contour integral. was, however, found cumbersome early on to apply the finite element analysis, for which method more directly applicable -area integral was later developed. In previous study, we -contour function of displacements only, make peridynamics (Stenström and Eriksson Int Fract 216:173–183, 2019). this article exte...

In this paper, we present an approximate method to solve the solution of the second kind Volterra integral equations. This method is based on a previous scheme, applied by Maleknejad ‎et al., ‎‎[K. Maleknejad ‎and Aghazadeh, Numerical solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind with convolution kernel by using Taylor-series expansion method, ‎Appl. Math. Comput.‎ (2005)]‎ to gain...

An interaction integral method for evaluating mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for two dimensional crack problems using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis method is investigated. The interaction integral method is based on the path independent J-integral. By introducing a known auxiliary field solution, the mixed-mode SIFs are calculated simultaneously. Among features of B-spline basis...

The time-fractional diffusion-wave equation is considered in a half-plane. The Caputo fractional derivative of the order 0 < α < 2 is used. Several examples of problems with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are solved using the Laplace integral transform with respect to time and the Fourier transforms with respect to spatial coordinates. The solution is written in terms of the Mittag-L...
