Parallel Simulations of Dynamic Fracture Using Extrinsic Cohesive Elements
In this paper, we present a novel parallel implementation of extrinsic initially rigid cohesive elements in an explicit finite element solver designed for the simulation of dynamic fracture events. The implementation is based on activating instead of inserting the cohesive elements and uses ParFUM, a parallel framework specifically developed for simulations involving unstructured meshes. Aspect...
متن کاملA critical evaluation of dynamic fracture simulations using cohesive surfaces
Finite element calculations of dynamic fracture based on embedding cohesive surfaces in a continuum indicate that the predictions are sensitive to the cohesive law used. Simulations were performed on a square block in plane strain with an initial edge crack loaded at a constant rate of strain. Cohesive laws that have an initial elastic response were observed to produce spontaneous branching at ...
متن کاملUsing geometrically, topologically and materially unstructured methods to reduce mesh dependency in dynamic cohesive fracture simulations
We present a method to reduce mesh bias in dynamic fracture simulations using the fi nite element method withadaptive insertion of extrinsic cohesive zone elements along element boundaries. The geometry of the domaindiscretization is important in this setting because cracks are only allowed to propagate along element facets andcan potentially bias the crack paths. To reduce mesh...
متن کاملExtrinsic cohesive modelling of dynamic fracture and microbranching instability in brittle materials
Dynamic crack microbranching processes in brittle materials are investigated by means of a computational fracture mechanics approach using the finite element method with special interface elements and a topological data structure representation. Experiments indicate presence of a limiting crack speed for dynamic crack in brittle materials as well as increasing fracture resistance with crack spe...
متن کاملModeling Dynamic Fracture Using Large-scale Atomistic Simulations
We review a series of large-scale molecular dynamics studies of dynamic fracture in brittle materials, aiming to clarify questions such as the limiting speed of cracks, crack tip instabilities and crack dynamics at interfaces. This chapter includes a brief introduction of atomistic modeling techniques and a short review of important continuum mechanics concepts of fracture. We find that hyperel...
