Two Dimensional Linear Elastic Analysis of Fracture Specimens User's Manual of a Finite Element Computer Program.

Abstract

A Finite Element code for plane stress and plane strain linear elastic analysis of fatigue-crack-growth test specimen configurations was developed. A user's manual for the above code along with user's manuals, for a mesh plotting program, and mesh generating programs for compact, three-point-bend, and ring specimen geometries is provided. Numerical examples for several specimen geometries are also included. (Author)
