I am modeling an embedded elliptical crack in finite solid in ANSYS 10.0.For mode-II and III calculation of energy release rate, I am not able to transform the forces in the local coordinate system as required in case of elliptical cracks.The loading is perpendicular to crack.
Please help me with the required Force Tranformations. In case of elliptical cracks forces obtained from ANSYS are in global coordinate system as Fx,Fyand Fz.I need to transform Fy and Fz in local coordinate system.
I hope I have myself clear.Thank you.
Waiting for reply,
