A Computational Method for Modeling Interface Corner Crack under Steady-State Delamination

Article Preview

Abstract:

Corner cracks under steady-state delamination were investigated. The fracture mechanics parameters that include the strain energy release rate and the three-dimensional mode-mixity along the interface crack front are estimated. A numerical approach was then applied for coupling the far field solutions based on the Finite Element Method to the near field (crack tip) solutions based on the J-integral methodology. A quantitative approach was formulated based on the finite element method with iterative adjustment of the crack front nodal coordinates to estimate the critical delamination stresses as a function of the fracture criterion and corner angles.
