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...

Finite Element Model for Steady-State Rolling Tire Analysis

The paper describes a finite element model for steady state rolling tire analysis. The model, which is improved in comparison to earlier models created by the authors, enables a larger number of analyses to be conducted in less time and with greater accuracy. The descriptions of model structure and model building procedure are given, followed by the algorithm according to which the improvement ...

Finite Element Analysis of Crack Welding Process

The numerical simulation of the crack welding process is reported in this paper. The thermo-electro-structural coupled-field finite element analysis is adopted to investigate the welding process of crack surfaces. In the simulation, the pressure-dependent and temperature-dependent electrical contact conditions are considered. From the results, the crack surfaces can melt and weld together under...
