crack propagation

Full scholarships available at European Commission funded workshop on fracture and damage mechanics in Antalya / Turkey

Submitted by Tuncay Yalcinkaya on

European Commission' s JRC (Joint Research Centre) is organizing the 2nd workshop on physics based modeling of material properties and experimental observations in collaboration with TOBB University of Economics and Technology. The workshop will be held in Antalya/Turkey on 15-17 May 2013, and the special focus will be fracture and damage mechanics.

Crack problems in A380 and BOEING 787

Submitted by stathis on

A point in which I may contribute from my oint of view is the crack problrem because of asymmetric bending

or because of the "off axis" bending. It is a problem in which I am working with Professor Sideridis at this time in National Technical University of Athens.

Crack propagation in ductile materials under monotonic loading

Submitted by m_motaleb on

Hello everyone;

 I am Msc student and work on simulation of repairing the cracked steel girders using CFRP in abaqus.

I induce a geometrical crack in steel beam model and exepct it propagate in failure strain path, after increasing the load

I  have a question about crack propagation of steel girder under monotonic loading, what criterion of fracture is suitable for this case?

Crack propagation in composites in presence of shear and pressure loads

Submitted by Roche on

Hi,

Assume that we have a composite structure consists of isotropic layers with
a delamination (separation) between the layers. There is a compressive load
applying normal to layers surfaces and hence normal to the
delamination (crack) which closes the delamination, and a shear load tangential to the
crack surface.

LOW-CYCLE FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN ABAQUS USING XFEM

Submitted by Alberto.Garcia… on

 

Hi all,

 I´m traying to simulate a low-cycle fatigue crack growth in Abaqus 6.9 using xfem. My problem is to add the low cycle method to the xfem solution. 

I believe that the only current option for this would be to manually
create the loading curve and to do the analysis by a brute force
method but i may not be correct in this assumption however.

Please could someone explain a brief method.

i appreciate in advance.

 

 

Experimental temperature field at the crack tip in a natural rubber

Submitted by LECAM on

Dear colleagues, this is a paper on the experimental determination of temperature field at the crack tip in a natural rubber using a motion compensation technique. The contribution of the non-uniformity of the IR detectors and the Narcissus effect is taking into account to determine the temperature field.
