Abstract:The present paper investigates the employment of coarse meshes in evaluating the T-stress with the displacement method. Several finite element analyses have been carried out with different mesh refinements and accuracies. Mode I and mixed mode I/II loadings have been considered in finite element analyses. Under mode I loading, single and double edge notched geometries have been considered, while plate with central crack has been considerd for mixed mode loading condition. The analyses are compared with the res… Show more
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.
