Crack propagation simulations

Submitted by multi_scaler on

Hi all,

Apologize if a similar thread was discussed elsewhere. I wanted to know as to currently, what is the

best method to simulate large geometries with cracks as in 3 or 4 point bending test and get factors like CTOD

etc. from such simulation in a physical manner.

I am also interested in crack propagation. As I understand FE requires a prior knowledge of the crack propagation.

What are the disadvantages of XFEM in terms of accuracy? Is there any review on discussing various methods including

job

The Solids Mechanics Laboratory, in collaboration with the Thin Films and Interfaces Laboratory, from Ecole Polytechnique is seeking a talented candidate, with a strong background in nanophysics and nanocharacterization, for a postdoctoral position.

The objective of the proposed postdoctoral project is to understand the multiscale damage arising in nanodevices under various types of loadings, in view of proposing lifetime models of the devices.

More details can be found in the attached document.
