Research abstract

Fracture mechanics capabilities based on finite element multidisciplinary analysis will be designed and developed. Incorporating finite element based fracture mechanics analysis will enhance the power and strength of the STARS software. An in depth literature survey will be conducted to assess the appropriate finite element methodology for modeling crack tip stress regions and associated material constitutive relations. In order to characterize fracture behavior, crack tip opening displacement, J-integral method, and virtual crack extension methods will be assessed for implementation. Feasibility of including these methods in the present software design of a multidisciplinary finite element program will be investigated.
