crack extension curve
Dear all
My project work is in crack analysis, so I used cohesive zone model for crack analysis in Abaqus.I implement the cohesive element in crack path but I don't known how to plot crack extension vs time(load, J-integral) curve.
Pls suggest the procedure for ploting crack extension curve.
thanks.

Postdoctoral Position Opening at Stanford University
Prof. Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on the modeling of grain structure evolution in the surface layer under friction. The major task of this project is the development of a phase field model for grain/sub-grain structure evolution under friction. It is likely that molecular dynamics and dislocation dynamics simulations would be required as well to obtain a good physical understanding of the process.
