need help with meshing

Submitted by A.Brick Chaouche on

Good mourning, i have a question, i need to draw a geometry and mesh it, and then turn the mesh datas (nodes and their coordinates, elements and their connectivities ... etc) in a data file to use it in a program written on fortran or another language i want to read the datas from a file to fill out victors and matrices within my program, i point out that it is for a fracture problem, please may any one suggest some free or open source software to to 2D or 3D meshing with a suited FE for fracture problems under quasi static load. My pleasur

j integral and stress intensity factor relation

Submitted by haidir on

Hi,

Dear all,

We all know that J can be calculated by J=1/E(KI^2+KII^2).

but how to calculate the KI and KII from J.

I facing this pronlem as Abaqus can only calculated J integral for epfm, but I need the KI and KII as I only got K threshold and KIC for the material.

 Thank You

Haidir
