Abstract:The present paper aims to study the crack propagating behavior of a stiffened plate under tensile and bending displacement load loads. The extended finite element method (XFEM) is used to analyze the residual ultimate strength of stiffened plates with a central crack. The quasi-static crack growth process is simulated by software ABAQUS. The validity of the grid is validated by the plate with a central crack. The numerical method is validated by comparing the fatigue crack growth rate of the round compact tens… Show more
