Hello,
I am doing my thesis on fracture toughness analysis ofcomposite material. Basically my work is to estimate stress intensity factorwhen reinforcement particle is very near to crack tip. I am using ANSYS for modeling and meshing.
I need help in selection of element type for crack tip,matrix material and reinforcement particle. And how to calculate KIc forcomposite material???
Thank you.

I thank you can try choose singular element which is one of the inherent element type
