    Controlling crack propagation with the XFEM approach

    Hi there, I am trying to model a quasistatic crack propagation in a solid subjected to bending. I have inserted a precrack and defined a MaxPs traction separation law for the cracked domain. I don't understand how Abaqus deals with the crack propagation ! At the beginning, the stress increases...

    Crack propagation in thermal induced stress field

    Hi there, I have performed a coupled temp-displacement analysis to simulate the cooling stage of two bodies in contact. Due to the thermal expansion mismatch, a stress tensile stress field appears in one of the two bodies. Now I would like to study how a crack would initiate and propagate in...

    Cooling stage simulation of two bodies in contact

    Hi everybody, I would like to model the cooling operation of two bodies sticked together and with two distincts expansion coefficient. I would like to observe the stress concentration appearing due to the difference in terms of expansion coefficient. I have some difficulties to build the case...
