Fracture in Abaqus
Good morning
I'm working in Abaqus on modelling crack propagation. Regards this i have two questions.
1)I would like to ask if it is possible for Abaqus to create automatic propagation in 2D. What should I do to receive the effect. I've defined the crack and in the history Output i've defined the crack initiation criterion. There are no warnings, no errors, and in visualization module the effects are miserable.
2)When I'm trying to plot Crack prop. direction I'm receiving only points in vertical for time=1s, and I would like to receive crack propagation for different state of times, different moments.
P.s. Sorry for my english, I hope everything is clear enough to understand this post. I hope someone can help me.

prediction of crack propagation using ABAQUS
Hi Michael,
I am not sure whether I understand your question. ABAQUS surely has capability of predicting crack propagation. Particularly in ABAQUS/Explicit, element deletion technique is provided such that the element,where the failure criterion is locally reached, will be removed from the calculation. Thereby dynamic element deletion can be visualized as a crack progration.
It actually provides a variety of failure models for different materials and different problems. But for doing it correctly, you must do some benchmark tests to make sure the failure criterion that you used is reasonable. Except that, the numercial results very depend on mesh design.
I suggest you to check ABAQUS manual (ver6.5) section 11.2.8 and chapter 11.6 for details. Also in the ABAQUS/Example problems manual, problems 2.13 and 2.14 are both good examples that you should perform for being familiar with the method.
Hope this helpful for you.

It is maybe a bit late, but I learned using XFEM in Abaqus by Matthew Pais in "http://www.matthewpais.com/abaqus".
There are a lot of examples with tutorials (step-by-step in CAE), the cea-files and the inputs, that you can use for learning it. He works with 6.10.
I think, you already have learned it within the 2 years :-)

another way of handling crack in Abaqus
In addition to Zhenyu's reply, I want to add that Abaqus can handle crack using cohesive zone model. In old versions, one has to write an UEL to handle cohesive elements. In the new version (6.5), it allows the user to define the traction-separation behavior in the contact elements, so you can regard this as cohesive elements, to my understanding.
For the ad hoc problem, if you want to implement your own fracture criterion, the cohesive element can be easily implement using a template that Prof. Bower and I wrote. Please see paper #7 in http://web.utk.edu/~ygao7/publication.htm
two cracks reaching their strength peak
Dear Yanfei,
I am reading your paper
Y.F. Gao, A.F. Bower, "A simple technique for avoiding convergence problems in finite element simulations of crack nucleation and growth on cohesive interfaces." Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering 12, 453-463, 2004
with great interest and want to raise some questions for discussion.
In your paper, you applied your technique (by introducing a small viscosity in the interface cohesive law) to a system having only one crack. Can this technique be applied to a system with many cracks, or say just two cracks, in the case when all those cracks are reaching their strength peak?
Hi Yanfei Gao I am wor
Hi Yanfei Gao
I am working on crack propagation problem using cohesive elements but I really do not know how to choose the properties of cohesive element. Can you tell me how to choose it??

Hi,
I'm new in this forum. Iwould ask Mr Gao in order to explain some things. So, I'm working on cemented fixation of orthopaedic implant. My model was consists of three parts: implant, acrylic cement and bone. Thus i'm having two interfaces, the one between implant-cement and another betwenn cement-bone. I would to simulate the pull out test of the implant. What the nature of intéraction in the different two interfaces. How simulate my problem without any subroutine. WHAT do I do if I WOULD predict the damage and the failure of the interphase.

about cohesive zone model
Yanfei,
In my knowledge, cohesive zone model is very powerful for the problem where the crack path is known, such as the delamination of a bilayer (thinfilm on substrate ect.) where the crack is always propagating along the interface between two materials. While for the problem that the crack paths are too complicate to be predicted such as petalling process of a plate subjected to blast loads, the cohesive zone model cannot handle it in an efficient way.
Please correct me if I misunderstood something.
Zhenyu
Zhenyu: If a
Zhenyu:
If a singularity-based approach can handle it, the CZ model can do it too. In place of K-based criteria, damage induction criteria (similar to yield criteria of plasticity) can be devised based on stresses at the fictitious crack tip to simulate arbitrary crack growth within the CZ model.
The "blast" case you mentioned I would not consider right now a conventiional frature problem we would typically think of dealing with individual cracks, because there are just too many cracks in a blast. The cohesive element model plus some complicated consitutive law applied to the volume seems to me the best approach for the time being. Maybe one day the computer technology has advanced so much, we could simulate all those indivual cracks as indivisuals.

advantages and disadvantages of coheisve zone model
Zhenyu,
You are right about the advantages and disadvantages of cohesive zone model. To my observation, here are two major advantages:
(1) crack path is predefined
(2) the system will be artificially more compliant with the addition of cohesive elements
The first one can be avoided by introducing cohesive elements everywhere, but for highly symmetric problem, the path will be mesh dependent. With cohesive elements everywhere, the second problem is more severe. So we need to make sure the initial response is almost rigid. But doing so will introduce snap-open instability. That's why Prof. Bower and I modified the traditional cohesive elements along this line.
thanks
yanfei
compliance of the system
Dear Yanfei,
You modified the traditional cohesive elements by introducing a small viscosity in the interface cohesive law.
Will this affect the compliance of the system?

cohesive zone formulations avoiding mesh bias
Hiya,
Nice and informative discussion.
Cohesive zone modelling always have some disadvantages as discussed by Yanfei and others.
One way of removing the mesh bias is to use cohesive elements everywhere but it is a tedious job and many problems regarding stability and convergence.:)

To remove mesh bias and predict a crack path with cohesive zone model, following reference may be of interest to people using cohesive models and stuck due to mesh bias.

XFEM for interface debonding
In the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM), the interface discontinuity can be well solved.
X-FEM can be embedded in ABAQUS using UEL
Dear Henry,
Maybe the method you metioned above is a good choice for problems about moving discontinuities. I am using X-FEM to simulate fracture process in ABAQUS. The user subroutine of UEL is used to construct special element with enriched DOFs. The X-FEM can make use of the powerful ability of solving nonlinear equations of ABAQUS or other FE commercial software.
Any open-source X-FEM subroutine for ABAQUS
Hi Xiujun,
Some of us have realized how powerful ABAQUS can can be, e.g. http://imechanica.org/node/470. It's such a good idea to take advantage of ABAQUS to perform X-FEM calculation via UEL. Is there any open-source X-FEM subroutine for ABAQUS? I noticed Prof. Y. Gao has posted some UEL subroutines on line (refer to publication 7). Is there more?
-XH
Joint-work is needed in developing program
Dear XH,
I have ever tried to search the open-source X-FEM subroutines for ABAQUS but can't find any more than you mentioned so far( Eugenio's work is expected). According to my experiences of writing UEL I find it is difficult to develop a robust program individually. A lot of work which have little relation to X-FEM itself takes much time. If there are a few ones to do the similar thing, maybe joint-work is a choice to avoid the repeated labor. I will be very glad to share my program with others.
Can XFEM-LSM be embedded in ABAQUS?
Dear Xiujun,
You propose a very appealing approach to simulate crack propagation by embedding XFEM into ABAQUS commercial code. As far as I know, XFEM can also be implemented by a combination of XFEM and Level-Set method, eg. the work by Ji and Dolbow (IJNME, 2002). This new version of XFEM-LSM can be used to simulate a variety of time-dependent moving boundary problems. The key of the strategy is to solve a time-dependent mechanical equation as well as a level-set update equation. My question concerns whether it is possible to implement solution of these time-dependent equations in ABAQUS. If that is a case, then simulation of dynamic crack propagation is possible! Can I have your comments?
Dear Jinxiong The question
Dear Jinxiong
The question you mentioned is interesting and forsighting. I am not sure I understand you correctly .The dynamic crack propagation problem may be understood in two ways: 1) considering the velocity of crack propagation itself;2) only taking account of the inertial force without considering the v of crack propagation. The latter is relatively simple and there is no foundamental differences but the dynamic loadings between the static problem and dynamic problem. XFEM-LSM embedded into ABAQUS can be used to simulate the problem in this case. I am trying to simulate the dynamic response of gravity dam with crack propagation under earthquake. As for the former I am not sure. But I think it is hopeful to realize it.
Crack propagation with high speed
Dear Xiujun,
My question is actually the first case you mentioned, i.e., unsteady crack motion with fast speed. In this case, crack velocity is an important factor and may be comparable with shear wave speed. One of Karma's phase field method simulation results show that the crack velocity,v, can reach 0.4c, where c is the shear wave speed. The conventional steady-state crack propagation criterion will be inaccurate in this case and crack branching and instability may observed. This problem is really challenging!

How can X-FEM be embedded in ABAQUS using UEL

Importing strain values
Hi everyone,
I am currently working on modelling XFEM. I noticed that you are alot of experience in using XFEM. I am running two different models in one .cae file. The first model, is a creep model, which has 10 steps. The seond model is XFEM model.
I am trying to run the creep model, import the strain values from end of each step and import these values for every step into XFEM, to find out when fracture takes place. I have changed the frequency number to 1 for each othe steps, to make restart request.
I have then used the predefined field in first step of XFEM, to import the strain values for the first step of the creep model. When I try to do the same thing for the second step in XFEM model, it doesnt allow me to select the model anymore, saying that the part is already in use for an existing predefined field.
I was therefore, wondering if you know how to import strain values for each step into XFEM without coming across this error?
Thank you very much,
Sam
Interface modelling to predict delamination pattern.
Hi Amir,
I am
doing the similar project like what you did. My project is to predict
the delamination pattern in the interface of a bi-layer system
(substrate and overlay) using ABAQUS. Substrate is made of normal
concrete and overlay is made of High-Performance concrete. Delamination
is induced by maintaining high temperature (say 95 F) in the enclosed
room due to which different materials used will absorb different
temperatures and because of this difference of temperature in two
layers, shear stresses are developed at the interface due to which the
delamination occurs.
My questions are: What are the properties required to input in ABAQUS?
How to model the interface?
How to input the temperature loads?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you very much Sir.
Sathish konduru.
West Virginia university
Re: Interface modelling in ABAQUS
Hi Sathish,
You might know already about them but as starting point, basic ingredients of the cracking behaviour would be:
- construction of an optimized finite element model with proper assumptions of loading, boundary, symmetry, etc conditions and size, type of elements,...
- selection of approperiate material model for the material, and identify or obtain the corresponding material parameters (most likely from experiments or literature search).
- There are different material models already available in ABAQUS based on concrete cracking, damage plasticity, etc. Please, have a look in the documentation and see if you find anyone of them useful. Although, I am not sure if they are based on thermal loading or not. Otherwise there is always a possibility to write a user material subroutine.
- In most of the cases you must know the crack path apriori to perform crack propagation analyses in ABAQUS. Do you already know?
- Another tedious way would be to find the potential direction of crack propagation and separate nodes in that direction but it is a tedious job to do. You might need many steps/increments etc.
- There are many criterion present, based on your explaination a criterion based on shear stresses might serve the purpose but not sure until further details of the experimental results are known.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you require further clarifications.
All the best. ENJOY THE BUMPY RIDE.:) and never lose hope.

Crack propagation
Thank You very much for all replies.
I just wasn't sure whether Abaqus can handle with remeshing while predicting the crack propagation, but now I will try to look at the problem using "Dynamic element dylatation" suggested in first somment. I will study the documentation advised by Zhenyu Xue and I will try to get more familiar with the problem.
Thank You one more time

How I can get XFEM-LSM?
Dear All:
I am very interested to hear about the possibility of embedding X-FEM in ABAQUS. I agreed with Jinxiong who has mentioned about this possibility. It is a very appealing approach to simulate crack propagation. How to do that? Any ideas? Or maybe someone already did.
Right now, I am using ABAQUS to get the stress intensity factors (KI, KII, and KIII). To get crack growth, I am using a simplified numerical procedure starting with the Paris's law. I would like to use X-FEM to continue the work from ABAQUS.
I was wondering how X-FEM can be used from here to simulate crack propagation. Also, could you please tell me how I can get a version of XFEM-LSM?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
David.
Open XFEM++
Hi David,
Your research is very interesting. The key idea of XFEM is an enrichment of additional DOFs which may include some information of problems, e.g., the singularity of crack tip, the topology description of the level set function. Enrichment of XFEM for static problems is possible and actually some researchers have succeeded. My previous comment was wondering the difficulties involved in dynamic problems. Maybe this also has been realized by someone in ABAQUS. Can anyone tell me some related works?
There is an open XFEM++ website by Prof. Stephane Bordas. Hopefully it can help you!
Jinxiong
David, your reply
David,
your reply awakening to do more for my research on crack simuation. Could you please indicate how to determine stress intensity factoers (Ki,KII and KII) using ABAQUS? I highly appreciate for your time.

X-FEM implementation in ABAQUS
Dear all,
I'm also of the opinion that ABAQUS capabilities are very powerful and are worth using. We're modelling 2D crack propagation in fretting fatigue problems (i.e. under contact effects such as those due to square ended or cylindrical indenters). We use X-FEM embedded in ABAQUS via UEL, enabling the introduction of extra dof (this must be something very similar to what Xiujun Fang mentions above). We pre-process and post-process the information using Matlab as an interface. In this way, we benefit from the contact procedures and non-linear solver capabilities of ABAQUS in combination with the great advantages of X-FEM. We presented this work at a computational mechanics conference in Lisbon last year. In a similar way, we have also used the more general approach of partition of unity to enrich the singularity that arises at the end of a squared ended contact zone under a sliding condition (also combining X-FEM+ABAQUS). This was presented at WCCM in LA last summer. Some journal papers are now under review. This is joint-work with N. Sukumar at UC Davis.
Since we have realized that the ABAQUS implementation of X-FEM may be of interest to many researchers, we are preparing a paper focusing especially on the implementation aspects and LEFM applications. Once we "clean and tidy up" the code, we'll be glad to make it available as an open-source code.
Regards,
Eugenio.
X-FEM Abaqus - Postprint manuscripts provided
Dear all,
Just in case it is of interest to some of you, we provide links to three postprints related to our Abaqus implementation of the X-FEM. The latest is an "article in press" in Eng Frac Mech where we explain the essentials of the implementation and provide a link to the source code for the Abaqus computation. Note that the implementation is limited to 2D and the pre-processing code needed for element subdivision is not provided.
The other papers are an application to crack growth under fretting fatigue conditions (published in IJSS) and a specific enrichment of the singularity of a sliding corner (published in IJNME). We hope that these three publications may be helpful.
Best regards,
Eugenio.

hashin damage model for fiber reinforced composite in ABAQUS
Hi Everyone,
I am doing a project in which I am trying to study about the
drilling of composite. The aim is to optimize the drill and process
parameters to minimize the damage. For this I have tried to simulate
the drilling process in ABAQUS and I am using the Hashin damage model.
The problem is that Hashin damage model works only for the lamina which
takes only plane stress elements. Since only plane elements are allowed
I am unable to simulate cutting action of drill as the composite plate
is effectively 2D.
When I take 3D elements then Abaqus shows error that Hashin damage
model cannot be applied for that plate. Also there is no other damage
model for composites in Abaqus.
As a result, I am stuck in this project. Please suggest.
Thanks

Question - What material parameter ABAQUS xFEM will require? or Is there any example you can point out in ABAQUS xFEM... any help would be good starting point for me.My goal is to Compare Nonlinear Fracture mechanic analytical model with test specimen. Then develop some short of basic guideline for acceptance criteria for crack part.Regards,

crack propagation analysis
hello all,
am working in ABAQUS on crack propagation problem. have a query
actually i basically need automatic crack propagation i.e., i vl be defining the crack on the boundary and all the necessary details, also defining the crack in the history output
how shall i get crack propagation??
i need it without using any model or without using any subroutine...
can anybody plz answer my query...
regards,
nithesh
Wow, ABAQUS should pay you all
for the research.
Before all the numerical algorithms, do we understand the nature of dynamic fracture, or say, have we discovered any reliable criterion for dynamic crack propagation?
The quasistatic crack propagation has become friendly though, at least, in homogeneous materials.
It seems a lot of us have stopped writing a code of our own. Is this so in order to graduate sooner?...

Please could you tell me
Please could you tell me how I can get the SIF at the crack tip in abaqus cae! I am modeling a static 2D case where the crack is horizontal, I want to see the accuracy of SIF as the mesh becomes finer?
Thanks!

Hi everybody I have created
Hi everybody
I have created ABAQUS *inp file and I am going to open this file in ANSYS in order to use the model for crack initiation analyze.
Is it possible or not. if no is any prepared code available to translate it for ANSYS?

damage evolution
hi every body
i simulated a rigid projectile and deformble target, i used Weldox 460 E Steel for target and use "Johnson-cook" model for damage, but i cannot define 'Damage evolution" ! i mean whwn i going to use "Displacement" for damage evolution i cannot find a good value for "Charactersic Length" ! element size for target is 0.2*0.2*0.2mm^3,
can any body help me?

Multiple Cracks modeling in Ansys
Hi...
I am working on two cracks emanating from each circular hole.
In ansys we can only model one crack at a time.
So can anyone pls suggest how to model a plate containing multiple cracks.

Help for Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model
Dear sir
I am Ravi dalmeya doing Phd from Indian Institute of
Technology,Kanpur (India). I am doing work on adhesive elastic wavy
thin film. I have completed 2-D Hertzian contact between cylinder and
elastic half space using Abaqus. Now i want to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt
cohesive zone model outside the contact zone and i do not know how to
apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact
zone.Can you give me some suggestion?

Properties of cohesive zone models and their parameters
Dear All,
in this recent article you may find how to select the properties of the cohesive zone model (stiffness, and so on) according to physical arguments:
M. Paggi, P. Wriggers: "Stiffness
and strength of hierarchical polycrystalline
materials with imperfect interfaces", Journal of the Mechanics and
Physics of Solids, in press, doi:10.1016/j.jmps.2012.01.009
This has been possible by proposing a new CZM for finite thickness interfaces:
M. Paggi, P. Wriggers: "A nonlocal
cohesive zone model for finite thickness interfaces – Part I:
mathematical formulation and validation with molecular dynamics", Computational Materials Science, Vol. 50 (5), 1625-1633, 2011.doi:10.1016/j.commatsci.2010.12.024
Here you may find its implementation in the finite element code FEAP:
M. Paggi, P. Wriggers: "A nonlocal
cohesive zone model for finite thickness interfaces – Part II: FE
implementation and application to polycrystalline materials", Computational
Materials Science, Vol. 50 (5), 1634-1643, 2011. doi:10.1016/j.commatsci.2010.12.021

crack propagation
Hi,
i'm trying to simulate crack propagation(2D) with the use of a crack length versus time criterion.However, there are two error messages that i dont undrestand:
i Only *surface behavior, pressure-overclosure=hard may be used if *initial condition,type=contact is specified
*surface behavior,augmented lagrange keyword cannot be used if *initial condition,type=contact is specified
can anyone help me?
thank you

Fracture model of Fibre -Reinforced plymer in ABAQUS 6.10
Hello Everyone,
I am new in this forum.I am trying to model Fibre reinfored Polymer
fracture in ABAQUS . But, In website I could not find any example for
that.I have done fracture model for isotropic material such as
Alluminium using Contour Integral.But, for this FRP I am being unable to
model it.What should be my consideration (different from isotropic)
using this contour integral.I want a tensile matrix cracking or
matrix-fibre interface cracking or fibre cracking. Please help me in
this regard.

Hi everyone
I am new user in Abaqus, i read most of the posts related to the modelling the crack but unfortunately i didnt get a clear procedure, maybe it is due to my weakness in this software.
i want to model a crack in abaqus and analysis the crack propagation, actually i am working on piezoelectric material, but i want to know, can you tell me different steps to model a crack and then how to analyze the propagation on it.
Please help me is this case.

glass beam modelling - abaqus
Hi all,
I'm doing my project in glass beam of 4 point loading in abaqus 6.12and I'm new to model in abaqus. i don't knew what are the properties to be inputed into abaqus for glass brittle material and how to find the first crack in the beam.
Hi all,
Hi all,
I am new to Abaqus. I've just started using it. I am just trying to model a plate under plane stress with a edge crack. I had a couple of doubts.
1. XFEM doesn't give me the values of SIFs. Is this alright or is there a way to extract it?
2. I wanted to obtain STrain energy release rate values. I'm unable to add a history output request, so I asked for the STrain energy release rate values under the file output option. But I'm unable to get any values on my DAT file.
3. I get a warning message that says "STRAIN OUTPUT REQUEST LE IS NOT VALID FOR SOME ELEMENTS IN THIS ANALYSIS. THIS REQUEST IS SWITCHED TO THE STRAIN MEASURE, E." I didn't change any default settings. How do I get rid of this? Is this the reason I'm unable to get the SERR values?
Please help.
Discontinuous Galerkin cohesive interface elements
Hi all,
It is probably outdated, but I would like to mention the so-called Discontinuous Galerkin cohesive interface elements which completely remove the artificial compliance issue of conventional cohesive elements. The paper is:
