INTRODUCTION standard finite element solution for a linear elasticity problem ¤ The accurate prediction of stress intensity factors in crack involving a ¦¢§©¨ reentrant corner is no higher than , tips is essential for assessing the strength and life of structures where is the typical mesh size. This problem was soon using linear fracture mechanics theories. A crack is assumed realized and as a consequence a number of mesh adaptive to be stable when the magnitude of the stress concentration algorithms have been proposed [4], [5], [7], [8], [14] which, at its tip is below a critical material dependent value. Stress in general, improve the situation considerably. In some cases intensity factors derived from linearly elastic solutions are [7], [8], the adaptivity is driven by errors in the energy norm widely used in the study of brittle fracture, fatigue, stress of the solution, whereas in some others [4], [5], [14], a more corrosion cracking, and to some extend for creep crack growth. sophisticated goal-oriented approach based on a linearized Since the analytical methods for solving the equations of form of the output is used. elasticity are limited to very simple cases, the finite element In this paper we present a method for computing strict method is commonly used as the alternative to treat the more upper and lower bounds for the value of the J-integral in complicated cases. The methods for extracting stress intensity two dimensional linear fracture mechanics. The J-integral is factors from computed displacement solutions fall into two written as a bounded quadratic functional of the displacement categories: displacement matching methods, and the energy and expanded into computable quantities plus additional linear based methods. In the first case, the form of the local solution and quadratic terms in the error. The linear terms are bounded is assumed, and the value of the displacement near crack tip using our previous work for linear functional outputs [9], [11], is used to determine the magnitude of the coefficients in the [12] and the quadratic term is bounded with the energy norm asymmptotic expansion. In the second case, the strength of of the error scaled by a suitably chosen continuity constant, the singular stress field is related to the energy released rate, which can be determined a priori. The bounds produced are i.e. the sensitivity of the total potential energy to the crack strict with respect to the solution that would be obtained position.

This restriction rate in two dimensional cracks was given in [13] and is however can be eliminated if the more rigorous techniques for known as the J-integral. The J-integral is a path independent bounding the outputs of the exact weak solutions are employed contour integral involving the projection of the material force [10], [15]. Also, not exploited here, but of clear practical interest, is the fact that the bound gap can be decomposed ¢ in its plane, we are interested in determining the energy into a sum of positive elemental contributions thus naturally release rate, s 84m , such that, leading to an adaptive mesh adaptive approach [12].

  • Crack Tip Elements and the J Integral
    EN234: Computational methods in Structural and Solid Mechanics Homework 3: Crack tip elements and the J-integral Due Wed Oct 7, 2015 School of Engineering Brown University The purpose of this homework is to help understand how to handle element interpolation functions and integration schemes in more detail, as well as to explore some applications of FEA to fracture mechanics. In this homework you will solve a simple linear elastic fracture mechanics problem. You might find it helpful to review some of the basic ideas and terminology associated with linear elastic fracture mechanics here (in particular, recall the definitions of stress intensity factor and the nature of crack-tip fields in elastic solids). Also check the relations between energy release rate and stress intensities, and the background on the J integral here. 1. One of the challenges in using finite elements to solve a problem with cracks is that the stress field at a crack tip is singular. Standard finite element interpolation functions are designed so that stresses remain finite a everywhere in the element. Various types of special b c ‘crack tip’ elements have been designed that 3L/4 incorporate the singularity. One way to produce a L/4 singularity (the method used in ABAQUS) is to mesh L the region just near the crack tip with 8 noded elements, with a special arrangement of nodal points: (i) Three of the nodes (nodes 1,4 and 8 in the figure) are connected together, and (ii) the mid-side nodes 2 and 7 are moved to the quarter-point location on the element side.

  • Linear Elasticity
    10 Linear elasticity When you bend a stick the reaction grows noticeably stronger the further you go — until it perhaps breaks with a snap. If you release the bending force before it breaks, the stick straightens out again and you can bend it again and again without it changing its reaction or its shape. That is elasticity.

The elastic properties of continuous materials are determined by the under- lying molecular structure, but the relation between material properties and the molecular structure and arrangement in solids is complicated, to say the least. Luckily, there are broad classes of materials that may be described by a few Thomas Young (1773–1829).

This rubber fails prematurely due to heat buildup caused by the hysteretic nature of elastomers. It is therefore desired to replace this elastomer by a meta-material that has equivalent nonlinear deformation characteristics without this primary failure mode. A meta-material is an artificial material in the form of a periodic structure that exhibits behavior that differs from its constitutive material. After a thorough literature review, topology optimization was found as the only method used to design meta-materials. Further investigation determined topology optimization as an infeasible method to design meta-materials with the targeted nonlinear deformation characteristics.

  • On the Path-Dependence of the J-Integral Near a Stationary Crack in an Elastic-Plastic Material
    On the Path-Dependence of the J-integral Near a Stationary Crack in an Elastic-Plastic Material Dorinamaria Carka and Chad M. Landis∗ The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, 210 East 24th Street, C0600, Austin, TX 78712-0235 Abstract The path-dependence of the J-integral is investigated numerically, via the finite element method, for a range of loadings, Poisson's ratios, and hardening exponents within the context of J2-flow plasticity. Small-scale yielding assumptions are employed using Dirichlet-to-Neumann map boundary conditions on a circular boundary that encloses the plastic zone. This construct allows for a dense finite element mesh within the plastic zone and accurate far-field boundary conditions. Details of the crack tip field that have been computed previously by others, including the existence of an elastic sector in Mode I loading, are confirmed. The somewhat unexpected result is that J for a contour approaching zero radius around the crack tip is approximately 18% lower than the far-field value for Mode I loading for Poisson’s ratios characteristic of metals. In contrast, practically no path-dependence is found for Mode II. The applications of T or S stresses, whether applied proportionally with the K-field or prior to K, have only a modest effect on the path-dependence. Keywords: elasto-plastic fracture mechanics, small scale yielding, path-dependence of the J-integral, finite element methods 1. Introduction The J-integral as introduced by Eshelby [1,2] and Rice [3] is perhaps the most useful quantity for the analysis of the mechanical fields near crack tips in both linear elastic and non-linear elastic materials.

Received: 17 November 2019; Accepted: 13 December 2019; Published: 16 December 2019 Abstract: A particular pantographic sheet, modeled as a two-dimensional elastic continuum consisting of an orthogonal lattice of continuously distributed fibers with a cycloidal texture, is introduced and investigated. These fibers conceived as embedded beams on the surface are allowed to be deformed in a three-dimensional space and are endowed with resistance to stretching, shearing, bending, and twisting. A finite element analysis directly derived from a variational formulation was performed for some explanatory tests to illustrate the behavior of the newly introduced material. Specifically, we considered tests on: (1) bias extension; (2) compressive; (3) shear; and (4) torsion. The numerical results are discussed to some extent. Finally, attention is drawn to a comparison with other kinds of orthogonal lattices, namely straight, parabolic, and oscillatory, to show the differences in the behavior of the samples due to the diverse arrangements of the fibers. Keywords: non-linear elasticity; second gradient models; woven fabrics; metamaterials 1. Introduction In recent decades, metamaterials has attracted the attention of the scientific community considerably. They are artificially constructed materials characterized by an interior architecture that is designed with the aim of producing an optimized combination of responses to specific external excitation.
