Title: Numerical simulation of intergranular and transgranular crack propagation in ferroelectric polycrystals

Authors: Amir Abdollahi and Irene Arias, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona

Abstract:

Hello

I used the method of XFEM in Abaqus

I want to trace the crack chemain a reference (o, x, y), how to find the cords of the crack in each iteration??

how to calculate the stress intensity factor during crack propagation in abaqus6.11.?

I essey several times but it does not work.

many thanks

I spotted this service on google.  It is easy to use, fast,  and is very accurate (though not perfect) in retrieving one's articles. It has some nice features; I particularly like the one that allows articles to be saved in BibTeX, which is attractive for those who use LaTeX.

Hello to everyone.

The question is as:

I want to introduce the critical fracture energies (Gic,Giic) in a mixed mode fracture analysis in Abaqus using the XFEM  or the cohesive simulation method.My material can be considered as linear, the problem quasi static and the material properties E,v and yield strength known.
