Al&met-The boundary element method (BEM) simulation for 3-D blunt crack problems is studied. A calculation model for 3-D blunt cracks is established based on the plane strain analogy. The displacement and stress fields near the crack front are calculated by a 3-D BEM computer program and then the st

โฆ Synopsis
A method for determining compliances and crack lengths of round CT specimen geometries (RCT) by measuring the notch opening displacement (NOD) with strain gauges, combined with 3D finite element calculations to correlate the NOD to the loading point displacements, is presented. The method has been verified for tungsten and it is shown that measured and calculated compliances are in excellent agreement. A general equation is presented correlating compliances and NOD which allows to implicitly determine crack lengths by simply measuring the NOD of RCT specimens.
