Hi everybody
In my research I develop special multiscale approach to expand homogenization theory.
Up to now I modeled a crack response through comparing with analytical solution and full fine element model. It worked well with stationary crack.
Now I want to model a propagating crack and I'm...
Hi FEA way
thank you for your reply.
My task is eventually to analyze crack propagation with my own model , and this one is analyzed for comparison. For a start I wanted to analyze simple case of stationary crack to validate the models. This is the reason and a precondition for choosing XFEM...
Hi all
may be someone can help ...
I have a thin 3D plate of 60*60 cm (single element depth) and an inclined not propagating crack in the middle. I tested different crack length of 1-3 cm. Mesh size of 0.45 cm. element type C3D8R.
The load is uniaxial tension in y-axis.
I am using plain strain...
