Fracture Mechanics application

Post by NIKO »

I have looked over the solver manual but don't find any way to solve for stress intensity along a crack tip (example "J integral").
Anyone working on developing or know how to use ELMER for this?
Thanks!

Hi,

did you look into the Solver manual or the Models manual? The solvers are described in the Models manual, while the Solver manual contains more general information.

I went through both manuals and so no references to fracture mechanics and have not heard of anyone using Elmer or developing Elmer for this.

Hi,

a short search in the forum reveals this post: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3819.
Maybe this is what you are looking for?

Thanks for the interest. I am aware of the older, initial 2D work but was wondering if any further development (i.e., 3D) has been done.
Apparently not.
Best,
