Crack propagation in ductile materials under monotonic loading

Submitted by m_motaleb on

Hello everyone;

 I am Msc student and work on simulation of repairing the cracked steel girders using CFRP in abaqus.

I induce a geometrical crack in steel beam model and exepct it propagate in failure strain path, after increasing the load

I  have a question about crack propagation of steel girder under monotonic loading, what criterion of fracture is suitable for this case?
