Finite Element Model for Brittle Fracture and Fragmentation
A new computational model for brittle fracture and fragmentation has been developed based on finite element analysis of non-linear elasticity equations. The proposed model propagates the cracks by splitting the mesh nodes alongside the most over-strained edges based on the principal direction of strain tensor. To prevent elements from overlapping and folding under large deformations, robust geo...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Crack Initiation Angle Under Mixed Mode (I/II) Fracture
Present study deals with the prediction of crack initiation angle for mixed mode (I/II) fracture using finite element techniques and J-Integral based approach. The FE code ANSYS is used to estimate the stress intensity factor numerically. The estimated values of SIF were incorporated into six different crack initiation angle criteria to predict the crack initiation angle. Single edge crack spec...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing and Induced Seismicity in Engineered Geothermal Systems
In this paper the Discrete Element Model (DEM) ‘ESyS_Particle’, previously used to model fracture of brittle rocks and earthquake processes, is further developed to be able to be applied to the hydraulic fracturing process in Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS). The advantage of DEM is that large deformations and dynamic process can be modelled easily. ESyS_Particle has been used to successfull...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigation of Rock Dynamic Fracture
Rapid development of engineering activities expands through a variety of rock engineering processes such as drilling, blasting, mining and mineral processing. These activities require rock dynamic fracture mechanics method to characterize the rock behavior. Dynamic fracture toughness is an important parameter for the analysis of engineering structures under dynamic loading. Several experimental...
متن کاملA Theoretical and Practical Study of Cracking of an Aluminium Alloy During Side Pressing Using a Finite - Element Analysis
Elastic-plastic finite-element analysis applied to metalforming allows the real macroscopic properties of the workpiece to be incorporated. This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the initiation of cracking in side-pressing of a heat-treated aluminium alloy (Duralloy 2014). Using an F. E. analysis, these are related to various fracture criteria. It is found that the criterio...
