XFEM simulation of stable crack growth using J–R curve under finite strain plasticity
Source abstract
Abstract
In the present work, extended finite element method (XFEM) has been extended to simulate stable crack growth problems using J–R criterion under finite strain plasticity. In XFEM, a physical representation of crack is not required, and a crack is completely modeled by enrichment functions. The modeling of large deformation is performed using updated Lagrangian approach. The nonlinear equations obtained as a result of large deformation are solved by Newton–Raphson iterative method. Von-Mises yield criterion is used with isotropic hardening to model the finite strain plasticity. The elastic-predictor and plastic-corrector algorithm is employed for stress computation. Three problems i.e. crack growth in compact tension specimen; crack growth in triple point bend specimen and crack growth in bi-metallic triple point bend specimen are solved using J–R curve under plane stress condition to demonstrate the capability of XFEM in crack growth problems.
