Edge crack boundary condition
Hi everyone
i'm working on modeling crack in plates and i'm a little confused about correct boundary condition of a single edge crack in a plate under tension! could you please tell me which corner should fixed and which one should defined as a roller???
i also attached a figure.
i tried 2 kind of BC for my problem:
1- node 1: roller (Ux=0) and node 3: fixed (Ux=Uy=0)
2- i only fixed node 2 (Ux=Uy=0)
and the stress intensity factor calculated by these BCs almost the same!!!
now the quastion is which BC is better for this kind of problem???
