Abstract EN
This work deals with a 2D finite element simulation of nonplanar multiple cracks using fracture and crack propagation analysis.
This analysis was performed by using the developed source code software written by Visual Fortran Language.
This source code includes the adaptive mesh generation utilizing the advanced front method and also the mesh refinement process.
In order to correctly represent the field singularity, the quarter-point singular elements are constructed around the tip of the crack.
The crack growth criteria are used to predict the crack growth direction by utilizing the circumferential stress factor in calculating the yielding stress in elastic fracture assumptions.
The stress intensity factor determination is one of the most critical procedures as it determines the crack initiation and propagation mechanism.
Moreover, the stress intensity factor histories during the crack growth are measured with the use of equivalent domain integral methods.
The crack path simulation and stress intensity factor calculations are compared with the literature and revealed that the results are in agreement with research carried in this domain.
