Dear All,

I have a beam with a hole under pure bending moment. I am very intrested to know is there any

relationship between the moment in the beam section and the stress concentartion (specially tensile stresses due to moment ) around the hole?

Any help will be highly appreciated,

Thank you,

Hello,

It is some time that I am struggling for making a physical interperation of the MAXSCRT in ABAQUS  and crack initiation.

When the MAXSCRT in ABAQUS in cohesive element is equal to 1, does it mean that the crack has been formed or just it means that irreversible deformation in the element has been formed?

Thank you,

Hi,

I have modeled a beam with a hole in it in ABAQUS. I use of FRACTURE MECHANICS and FINITE ELEMENT METHOD for perdiction of failure load of beams with holes. I am wondering is it a correct assumption to assume a fixed crack length for one beam with varying hole position or not? 

It have assumed that a fixed crack length for a beam with varying location of hole along the beam.

Am I correct?

Thank you,
