Abstract:A B S T R A C T Several fracture codes have been developed in recent years to perform analyses of dynamic crack propagation in arbitrary directions. However, general-purpose, commercial finiteelement software which have capabilities to do fracture analyses are still limited in their use to stationary cracks and crack propagation along trajectories known a priori. In this paper, we present an automated fracture procedure implemented in the large-scale, nonlinear, explicit, finite-element code DYNA3D which can b… Show more
