Local Remeshing Algorithm for Quasi-Static Crack Propagation

  • Published : 1994.09.01

Abstract

A local remeshing algorithm using Delaunay property is developed for the analysis on the phenomenon of quasi-static crack propagation, which is a typical problem of accompanying constantly varying geometry. The algorithm performs both remeshing and refinement. The use of M-integral is demonstrated to simulate crack propagation under mixed mode with the edge spalling problem.

균열전파 현상은 항상 형상이 변화하는 대표적인 문제중의 하나이다. 본 연구는 준-정적 균열전파 현상을 해석하기 위하여 들로네이 특성을 이용한 국지 요소재편 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 이 알고리즘은 요소 재편성과 세분화를 모두 수행할 수 있도록 준비되었다. 적용예로 M 적분법을 사용하여 주로 혼합 모우드로 균열이 전파되는 스폴링 현상을 해석하였다.
