Fatigue crack separation and merging simulation using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics
Source abstract
Abstract
The present paper proposes a new computational method for the fatigue crack propagation in a metallic structure using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). First, we discuss how to model the crack front line with C0 continuous elements called chained crack front lines, which resemble those that were experimentally observed. In the second, the detailed algorithm for the chained crack front line is proposed and implemented into the fatigue crack propagation analysis program based on the SPH named as SPH-Fatigue. Third, the present method is applied to the fatigue crack propagation problems with crack separation and merging phenomena, such as the crack propagation passing through a hole or passing through a slit in a T-joint structure. The calculated results show an excellent agreement with time-dependent crack shapes experimentally obtained. We conclude that the idea of chained crack front line discussed in this paper is useful to estimate the time dependent crack shape of real materials and structures.
