j integral and stress intensity factor relation

Submitted by haidir on

Hi,

Dear all,

We all know that J can be calculated by J=1/E(KI^2+KII^2).

but how to calculate the KI and KII from J.

I facing this pronlem as Abaqus can only calculated J integral for epfm, but I need the KI and KII as I only got K threshold and KIC for the material.

 Thank You

Ansys help - simple flow rule analysis

Submitted by koolraj09 on

Hi all.

I want to analyse a plate with a hole using ansys. But it has a material non-linearity. The stress strain law I want to use is σ = K εn


I want to know how it can be done. I've seen  and tried ansys but it has options like kinematic hardening etc... but how to incorporate this relation...please guys it's urgent!!

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

I wanted to simulate fatigue crack growth in ls-dyna, obtain dK, crack tip stress fields. But I wanted to start from a simple model. I can't find any examples online, tutorial...

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.
