AhstracG-The problems of crack-microcrack interactions and doubly kinked cracks have been analysed by the finite element method. In the first case the main crack tip SIF has been evaluated for different length of a collinear microcrack, which is located at a fixed distance. Through another case stud
An element formulation is suggested to obtain variable order singularities simultaneously at the two neighbouring corner nodes of a 4-noded quadrilateral. The element is useful for modeliing a kinked crack with small kink length. The accuracy is good and this is obtained at a substantially reduced c
The performance of quarter-point and traction-singular quarter-point boundary elements, dealing with kinked and curved thermal cracks, is investigated. These special crack-tip elements simulate correctly the rl" and r-l'\* near-tip behavior of temperature/displacement and heat flux/thermal stress fi
The approximate energy release rate for a crack which extends, or "kinks", away from its original direction has been computed by finite element analysis using three different methods: stiffness derivative procedure, J integral method and crack closure integral procedure. A case study is presented to
In this paper, the effect of optimum finite element grids around crack tips in bilinear elastoplastic materials is addressed. The optimum meshes around singularities for elastic materials are proved to give also the best meshes for cases where bilinear elastoplastic laws are used to describe the ove
