Finite Element Simulation and Comparison of Hydraulic Splitting Fracturing Test of Concrete

Abstract:

I-II mixed mode fracture under two kinds of load manners was carried out, and it was also simulated by the ANSYS, and the test results and the simulation results were compared and analyzed, and the reasonableness of the model built and the effectiveness of test were verified. The failure process of fracture under the loading could be judged through the development of the crack tip combined with the stress nephogram and strain nephogram when cracks initiation at crack tip, and it provided the basis for the crack damage judgment.
