Abstract Stress intensity factors in thin‐walled cracked structures are computed using a mixed‐dimensional finite element (FE) shell/extended (XFE) 3D formulation. The present approach belongs to the family of ‘substructuring’ methods. domain is decomposed into and safe subdomains which solved by XFE‐code FE‐software, respectively. XFE‐3D may contain cracks that do not necessarily join top bottom faces plate. interface problem tearing interconnecting method. Several validations provided....
This paper presents a study on the longitudinal fracture toughness, and associated crack resistance curves, of thermoplastic-based composite materials. Double-edge notched (DEN) specimens loaded in tension compression are used to relate size-effect laws with curves unidirectional carbon-fibre reinforced PEKK. The results corroborated SEM fractographic images provide better overview main failure mechanisms involved during process. Moreover, tensile tests interrupted at 90% estimated load...
A finite element procedure is developed for the computation of thermoelastic properties textile composites with complex and compact two- three-dimensional woven reinforcement architectures. The purpose method to provide estimates composite minimum geometrical modeling effort. software TexGen used model simplified representations textiles. This results in severe yarn penetrations, which prevent conventional meshing. non-conformal meshing strategy adopted, where mesh refined at material...
Tremendous progress in nanomechanical testing and modelling has been made during the last two decades. This emerged from different areas of materials science dealing with mechanical behaviour thin films coatings, polymer blends, nanomaterials or microstructure constituents as well rapidly growing field MEMS. Nanomechanical test methods include, among others, nanoindentation, in-situ a scanning transmission electron microscope coupled digital image correlation, atomic force microscopy new...
The introduction of the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) into a commercial (FE) software was achieved through substructuring method. For fracture mechanics problems, domain is decomposed cracked and safe subdomains which are solved by XFE-code FE-software, respectively. interface problem using FETI solver. new approach compared with classical FE-approach in case planar crack compressor drum turbofan engine.
