XFEM simulation of a quenched cracked glass plate with moving convective boundaries

A numerical approach for modelling thin cracked plates with XFEM

The modelization of bending plates with through the thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff-Love plate model which is valid for very thin plates. We apply the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) strategy: enrichment of the finite element space with the asymptotic bending and with the discontinuity across the crack. We present two variants and their numerical validations an...

Double Diffusive Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Mixed Convective Slip Flow along a Radiating Moving Vertical Flat Plate with Convective Boundary Condition

In this study combined heat and mass transfer by mixed convective flow along a moving vertical flat plate with hydrodynamic slip and thermal convective boundary condition is investigated. Using similarity variables, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are then solved us...

buckling analysis of cracked columns by xfem

this paper focuses on using the recently developed extended finite element model for buckling analysis of edge cracked columns under concentric axial load. the effect of crack depth and its location on the carrying capacity of columns is studied. the effect of different boundary conditions is also investigated. numerical examples are offered to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the propo...

Reliability Analysis of Processes with Moving Cracked Material

The reliability of processes with moving elastic and isotropic material containing initial cracks is considered in terms of fracture. The material is modelled as a moving plate which is simply supported from two of its sides and subjected to homogeneous tension acting in the travelling direction. For tension, two models are studied: i) tension is constant with respect to time, and ii) tension v...
