Finite element analysis for large displacement J-integral test method for Mode I interlaminar fracture in composite materials

Strength improvement of adhesively-bonded scarf repairs in aluminium structures with external reinforcements

“…Based on this initial model partition, the adherends and patch meshes were created in a structured manner, i.e., with horizontal and vertical edges, which enabled the construction of a distortion-free mesh [39]. On the remaining areas of the repair the mesh was generated automatically, with bigger mesh refinement at the reinforcement edges because of the expected stress concentrations [40]. To produce a non-distorted mesh at the adhesive layer (Fig.…”

A study on evaluation of stress intensity factor (KI) andJ‐integral for 40Ni2Cr1Mo28 alloy (structural steel): analytical and finite element analysis approach

“…This particular solution does not need to measure the length of the crack and it is only applicable when there is a presence of a large fracture process zone, as occurs between the adjacent joins of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites. Also, different numerical methods are proposed to calculate J‐integral [35, 36]. An adaptive finite element method to analyze dimensional and axisymmetric non‐linear elastic fracture mechanics problems with crack [37].…”

Analysis of Dynamic Fracture Parameters in Functionally Graded Material Plates with Cracks by Graded Finite Element Method and Virtual Crack Closure Technique

“…The J contour integral of ABAQUS was used to calculate stress intensity factors for an edge cracked FGM plate [18]. Matthews used the finite element analysis (FEA) for large displacement J-integral test to analyze mode I interlaminar fracture in composite materials [19]. The dynamic crack tip fields were determined, and the crack propagation of anisotropic materials was also characterized [20].…”
