Typical Calculation Method of Stress Intensity Factors and Crack Growth Criterions on Infinite Plate Containing Hole-Edge Cracks

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces a finite element analysis software FRANC2D/L to calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF) and simulate the crack growth. Samples with infinite plate containing center crack, one hole-edge crack and two symmetrical hole-edge cracks were analyzed by this software. Comparing the SIF calculation results of the three samples based on displacement correlation method, J-integral method and virtual crack closure integral method, the results show that the three methods are all suitable for calculating the SIF problems, and the calculation precision of J-integral method and virtual crack closure integral method are better. Comparing the three crack growth criterion of maximum circumferential stress, maximum strain energy release rate and minimum strain energy density, the calculation velocity and precision of maximum circumferential stress criterion and minimum strain energy density criterion are prior to maximum strain energy release rate criterion. The calculating time and angle error of maximum strain energy release rate criterion is larger than that of the other two criterions.
