| Abstract |
In this paper, intergranular microfracture evolution in polycrystalline brittle materials
is simulated using a cohesive grain boundary integral formulation. A linear cohesive law is used for
modelling multiple microcracking initiation and propagation under mixed mode failure conditions,
encountering the stochastic e=ects of the grain location, morphology and orientation. Furthermore,
in cases where crack surfaces come into contact, slide or separate, fully frictional contact analysis is
performed. |
