Edge crack boundary condition
Hi everyone
i'm working on modeling crack in plates and i'm a little confused about correct boundary condition of a single edge crack in a plate under tension! could you please tell me which corner should fixed and which one should defined as a roller???
i also attached a figure.
i tried 2 kind of BC for my problem:
1- node 1: roller (Ux=0) and node 3: fixed (Ux=Uy=0)
2- i only fixed node 2 (Ux=Uy=0)
and the stress intensity factor calculated by these BCs almost the same!!!

Applied Mechanics Division of ASME
The Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) strives to foster the intelligent use of mechanics by engineers and to develop this science to serve the needs of the engineering community. The AMD was founded in 1927 with Stephen Timoshenko as its first chair.
Collecting phenomena of large elastic deformation
It might be fun for us to work together to collect phenomena of large elastic deformation. These phenomena will enliven teaching and motivate research. As inspiration, here are two albums of fluid motion
