Prediction of Crack Initiation Direction for Inclined Crack Under Biaxial Loading by Finite Element Method

This paper presents a simple method based on strain energy density criterion to study the crack initiation angle by finite element method under biaxial loading condition. The crack surface relative displacement method is used to eliminate the calculation of the stress intensity factors which are normally required. The analysis is performed using higher order four node quadrilateral element. The...

A cohesive finite element for quasi-continua

In this paper, a cohesive finite element method (FEM) is proposed for a quasi-continuum (QC), i.e. a continuum model that utilizes the information of underlying atomistic microstructures. Most cohesive laws used in conventional cohesive FEMs are based on either empirical or idealized constitutive models that do not accurately reflect the actual lattice structures. The cohesive quasi-continuum f...

A Finite Element Method for Crack Growth without Remeshing

An improvement of a new technique for modelling cracks in the nite element framework is presented. A standard displacement-based approximation is enriched near a crack by incorporating both discontinuous elds and the near tip asymptotic elds through a partition of unity method. A methodology that constructs the enriched approximation from the interaction of the crack geometry with the mesh is d...

Spatial convergence of crack nucleation using a cohesive finite-element model on a pinwheel-based mesh

We consider the use of initially rigid cohesive interface models in a two-dimensional dynamic finiteelement solution of a fracture process. Our focus is on convergence of finite-element solutions to a solution of the undiscretized medium as the mesh spacing x (and therefore time-step t) tends to zero. We propose the use of pinwheel meshes, which possess the ‘isoperimetric property’ that for any...

Extended nite element method for three-dimensional crack modelling

An extended nite element method (X-FEM) for three-dimensional crack modelling is described. A discontinuous function and the two-dimensional asymptotic crack-tip displacement elds are added to the nite element approximation to account for the crack using the notion of partition of unity. This enables the domain to be modelled by nite elements with no explicit meshing of the crack surfaces. Comp...
