Prerequisite: Basic Training in elasticity and a proficiency building models, solving (linear analysis) and post-processing. This advanced 2-day course covers a wide range of problem classes and is designed to achieve the following objectives: Develop an understanding of the contour integral method for computing stress intensity factors (SIF's) for problems in linear elastic fracture mechanics How to create the optimal mesh at singularities (crack tips) How to extract SIF's at the crack tip for 2D problems and along the crack front for 3D problems (thru cracks and corner cracks) How to create models for which the crack tip is defined parametrically for use in a design study or automation application How to perform a 2D planar Crack Path analysis How to imbed a crack in a solid body (imported CAD model) and invoke the automesher to separate the elements at the crack face and construct a graded mesh refinement towards the crack tip How to include nonlinear affects (e.g. fastener hole propping or interference-fit bushing) which can greatly influence the magnitude of the stress intensity factor This course has a 40 minute lecture on Fracture Mechanics that covers specific details about the Contour Integral Method used to extract stress intensity factors. The remainder of the time is hands-on, building and solving problems covering a wide range of practical applications. ESRD offers training on-site (at your facility) or at our facility.
