Fracture and Damage Analysis of a Cracked Body by a New Boundary Element Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the concept of discontinuity displacement, an analytical solution for cracked thin plates has been derived in which displacements and stresses in a solid can be expressed by the linear distributed discontinuity displacements on the whole boundary. By way of the potential variational principle and the analytical solution newly developed, a boundary element model for 2D multiple crack problems has been presented and applied to fracture and damage analysis of thin plates with many cracks. Two numerical examples are considered to illustrate applications of the proposed element model. # 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A novel modification of decouple scaled boundary finite element method in fracture mechanics problems
In fracture mechanics and failure analysis, cracked media energy and consequently stress intensity factors (SIFs) play a crucial and significant role. Based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), the SIFs and energy of cracked media may be estimated. This study presents the novel modification of decoupled scaled boundary finite element method (DSBFEM) to model cracked media. In this metho...
متن کاملThermoelastic Fracture Parameters for Anisotropic Plates
This paper deals with the determination of the effect of varying material properties on the value of the stress intensity factors, KI and KII, for anisotropic plates containing cracks and subjected to a temperature change. Problems involving cracks and body forces, as well as thermal loads are analysed. The quadratic isoperimetric element formulation is utilized, and SIFs may be directly obtain...
متن کاملDUAL BOUNDARY ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CRACKED PLATES
The dual boundary element method is formulated for the analysis of linear elastic cracked plates. The dual boundary integral equations of the method are the displacement and the traction equations. When these equations are simultaneously applied along the crack boundaries, general crack problems can be solved in a single-region formulation, with both crack boundaries discretized with discontinu...

In this paper the capability of Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model in the prediction of ductile damage in 7075-T651 aluminum alloy is investigated. For this purpose, three types of specimens were tested: Standard tensile bars, Round notched bar (RNB) specimens and compact tension (C(T)) specimens. Standard tensile bar tests were used to obtain the mechanical properties of the material and t...
