You should make APDL program to obtain J-integral

As I know, you shoud make APDL program to obtain J-integral in a crack problem. I recommand you to learn APDL and J-integral example in ANSYS manual. And, If you are familiar with APDL program, you can readily make FE model with simple geometry

Modeling DCB Specimen using Ansys to determine Energy Release Rate

Renjith C S — Mon, 12 May 2008 03:54:28 -0400

Iam working on ansys modelling of DCB specimen to determine the energy release rate. Ihave modeled a CT specimen and determined its SIF. Is it right way to model the DCB by changing the dimensions of CT specimen and making it a DCB specimen?..

How can i find out energy release rate of the specimen?

Iam pretty new to Ansys

THANKS ALL
