Hi
Iam working on ansys modelling of DCB specimen to determine the energy release rate. Ihave modeled a CT specimen and determined its SIF. Is it right way to model the DCB by changing the dimensions of CT specimen and making it a DCB specimen?..
How can i find out energy release rate of the specimen?
Iam pretty new to Ansys
THANKS ALL
You should make APDL program to obtain J-integral
As I know, you shoud make APDL program to obtain J-integral in a crack problem. I recommand you to learn APDL and J-integral example in ANSYS manual. And, If you are familiar with APDL program, you can readily make FE model with simple geometry
