The paper describes new algorithms and procedures proposed for determining fracture mechanicsparameters from finite element analysis using the over deterministic method. The multi-parameter cracktip stress field description is used. The algorithms and procedures based on multi-parameter stress fieldrepresentations in series form are shown to be a powerful tool for reliable and accurate parameterdetermination. The technique is aimed at the determination of coefficients of the Williams series expansionfrom finite element analysis and is based on the over deterministic approach. The methodology is illustratedand applied to several cases of cracked specimens. Examples are presented for crack-tip fields recorded usingdigital photoelasticity. The results of finite element analysis are compared with the digital photoelasticityexperiments. The results are in good agreement. The principal stresses obtained from finite element methodare in good agreement with the isochromatic fringe patterns obtained by the photoelasticity method.Explanation has been made for giving guidance to a user on how best to approach implementation of themethod from a practical standpoint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
