  1. 6. Assessment of the applicability of XFEM in Abaqus for modeling crack growth in rubber.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Luigi Gigliotti; [2012]
    Keywords : Fracture Mechanics; eXtended Finite Element Method; Rubber-like materials; Abaqus;

    Abstract : The eXtended Finite Element Method is a partition of unity based method, particularly suitable for modelling crack propagation phenomena, without knowing a priori the crack path. Its numerical implementation is mostly achieved with stand-alone codes. READ MORE

  2. 7. Finite-Element Simulations of Glulam Beams with Natural Cracks

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Sepehr Rahili Khorasani; [2012]
    Keywords : Glulam beams; Fracture mechanics; XFEM; Natural crack; ABAQUS; VCCT.;

    Abstract : Abstract: Modeling and simulation of natural cracks and its propagation for glulam beams in numerical method frame work have been studied in this thesis. The aim of this study was to find out the influence of formed cracks on the Glulam beam load-carrying capacity. READ MORE

  3. 8. Numerical Analysis of Compression Perpendicular to the Grain in Glulam Beams With and Without Reinforcement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Jimmy Persson; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In Sweden there has recently been a change in the code from the former BFS2010:2 BKR 13 to Eurocode 5. This shift has led to changes when calculating the design capacity for all materials including wood. One of the parameters that were changed was the strength of wood perpendicular to the grain.

  4. 9. High temperature fatigue crack propagation in Inconel718

    University essay from Hållfasthetslära; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Babak Sharifimajd; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work, three different series of fatigue experiments on INCONEL718 will be discussed. For each type of fatigue experiment, the method of evaluation the raw data obtained at the matrial laboratory will be mentioned. Morover, from the obtained results, the fatigue properties of INCONEL718 will be presented in detail. READ MORE
