Quasi-automatic simulation of crack propagation for 2D LEFM problems

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-automatic simulation of propagation of arbitrary cracks in two-dimensional, linear elastic finite element models is presented, where an underlying winged-edge data structure enables automatic local modifications of the mesh along the propagation path without loss of any unaffected structural information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactive finite element analysis of fracture processes: An integrated approach

TL;DR: The FRACTURE ANalysis Code (FRANC) as mentioned in this paper is a tool that allows a practicing engineer or a researcher to perform an incremental fracture analysis at his/her desk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated 3‐D crack growth simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, a model environment for representing the evolving 3D crack geometry and for testing various crack growth mechanics is presented, and a specific implementation of the model, called FRANC3D, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sandia Fracture Challenge: blind round robin predictions of ductile tearing

TL;DR: Sandia National Laboratories, in partnership with US National Science Foundation and Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, launched a computational challenge in mid-summer, 2012 to predict crack initiation and propagation in a simple but novel geometry fabricated from a common off-the-shelf commercial engineering alloy as mentioned in this paper.
