I am trying to develop a model in ABAQUS and perform crack analysis using FRANC3D. I am having a problem right at the beginning.
I am able to create the model in ABAQUS and write the .inp file. I open this file in FRANC3D and am trying to insert a curved crack. I repeat a 'curved crack'. The crack is not planar. When I try to define the crack front using 'user defined points', the software is approximating all the points I enter to a best-fit 'plane'. So it is generating a planar crack when i wanta curved crack.
As a follow up to my first blog , I would like to know if the experimental data of applied loads and crack sizes or lengths, are sufficient to model the R-curve behaviour via the Fracture Mechanics approach.
I am a first year student of civil school in Myanmar.
I wanna get knowledge from all of you about civil engineering. Please show me the way to the success by a civil engineer .If u have something to guide me,u can send email nalazyboy [at] gmail.com (nalazyboy[at]gmail[dot]com)
thanks to all
