In armchair graphene sheets, crack propagates perpendicular to the applied strain, whereas crack propagation in zigzag sheets occurs at an angle to the straining direction. This occurs due to different bond structure along armchair and zigzag directions as shown in Fig. 1. Videos 1 and 2 show the fracture of armchair and zigzag sheets, respectively.

I am new to
using Abaqus.
I want to simulate crack propagation analysis using FEM and XFEM
in abaqus to obtain SIF value for a stationary crack for 2D prolems.
Can you explain me how to simulate this problem in abaqus?
Thanks.
Hightlights of this open access article published in Building and Environment:
• Building stock models need to revise some of their assumptions on space heating.
• Weekends and weekdays are similar in their heating pattern and duration.
• Estimated heating demand temperature is slightly lower than the assumed 21 °C.
• Homes differ widely in their hours of heating and their demand temperature.
I am trying to measure J - integral from experiment. " Let my initial fatigue crack length is 6mm, then i did single specimen unloading compliance test on it. The crack legth increased to 8mm" If i want to model the same geometry in FEA. Now my doubt is that "what carck length should i take 1) Initial fatigue crack = 6mm 2) final crack length = 8 mm.................... Note: I need to model my CT specimen in FEA to correct my experiments :-)
