Dear All,
I am trying simulate (in ABAQUS) a fracture toughness test (CT). During loading, the crack tip 'jumped' before ductile tearing initiated.
This 'jump' needs to be incorporated into the modelling process as it affects the values of J. I'm trying to incorporate this by changing the...
Hi all,
I am trying to simulate a fracture toughness test (compact tension, displacement controlled) where a short brittle crack 'snapped' through before ductile tearing occurred. Does anybody know the best way to try and simulate this? I know a load or a displacement that the brittle crack...
