On Some Benchmark Results for the Interaction of a Crack with a Circular Inclusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stress intensity factor calculations for crack-inclusion interaction problems are presented. The problems considered include the benchmark problems first discussed by Helsing and Jonsson, and subsequently by Wang, Mogilevskaya and Crouch. The numerical results are obtained using the symmetric-Galerkin boundary element method in conjunction with an improved quarter-point element for evaluating the stress intensity factors by means of the displacement correlation technique. The converged results confirm the accuracy of the previous simulations, and demonstrate that accurate solutions for these interaction problems can be obtained with numerical methods that are applicable in three dimensions.

A development in the finite volume method for the crack growth analysis without global remeshing
Crack growth analysis has remained one of the challenging problems in the fracture mechanics of structures. On the other hand, the fatigue crack growth is a common phenomenon in the components of structures like airplanes, navies and fluid storages where the fracture due to crack should be considered in the design of these structures. In this paper, the finite volume method (FVM) is extended fo...

متن کاملCrack analysis of an orthotropic circular bars reinforced by a magnetic coating under Saint-Venant torsion
This paper presents an analytical solution for an orthotropic circular cross section bar with a magnetic coating weakened by multiple arbitrary oriented cracks under Saint-Venant torsion by means of the distributed dislocation technique. At first, the solution of the orthotropic bar with a magnetic coating weakened by a Volterra-type screw dislocation is achieved with the aid of the finite Four...
