Study of Crack Growth Based on Extended Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A special method based on the extended finite element method is developed for the simulation of dynamic crack growth. It shows great advantages in the simulations of moving crack and mixed mode crack. The extended finite element method for two-dimensional crack is described in this paper. The crack form of the extended finite element in the homogeneous medium is studied in detail, and the internal detail in crack tip element and crack penetration element is analyzed. At last, the displacement mode is generated.
