Computational and Experimental Studies to Demonstrate Accuracy of Crack3D. Delivery Order 0001: Stable Tearing Predictions Using Large Deformation Kinematics and General 3D Crack Growth Algorithms Under Mixed Mode Loading Conditions
Abstract
This report summarizes work done to develop an analytical method to predict stable tearing crack path and shapes under complex mixed mode loading conditions using large deformation kinematics. A simulation program, CRACK3D, was developed as part of this effort. This report also documents the strategies used to automatically re-mesh finite elements around the crack tip in CRACK3D.
