Advanced Engineering Module: Fracture Mechanics


 

Requires Basic StressCheck

  • Reliable  computation of Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) and energy release rates (ERR, via J-Integral).
  • Automatic meshing of embedded cracks
  • Point-and-click extractions of the SIF and ERR distributions with automatic convergence information
  • Provides essential feedback to support 2D or 3D crack growth analysis in tools such as AFGROW.
  • Includes an automated Crack Path Analysis tool for 2D planar problems
  • Fully supports multi-body contact for capturing fastener propping effects
  • Compute KI, KII, and T-Stress for cracks using the superconvergent contour integral method
  • Compute the J-integral for isotropic or orthotropic materials for failure modes I, II, and III
  • KI, KII, and KIII can be obtained from the J-integral computation
  • Error estimation in all quantities is determined automatically
