Abstract

Three Dimensional finite element method (FEM) was used to obtain the stress intensity factor for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model. Nodes are generated by the bubble packing, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. To examine accuracy and efficiency of the present system, the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack in a plate subjected to uniform tension is calculated, and compared with Raju-Newman's solutions. Then the system is applied to analyze interaction effects of two dissimilar semi-elliptical cracks in a plate subjected to uniform tension.

3차원 유한요소법은 구조물에 존재하는 표면균열과 내재균열들의 응력확대계수를 구하는데 이용되어 진다. 기하모델, 즉 솔리드모델은 3차원 균열들을 포함하고 있다. 국부적인 절점밀도가 선택되어 지면 자동적으로 기하모델 영역에 중첩되어 지며 절점은 버블패깅 방법에 의해 생성되어지고 10절점 사변형 솔리드요소는 데라우니 삼각화 기술에 의해 생성하였다. 시스템의 정확도와 효용성을 체크하기 위해 인장하중을 받는 평판에 하나의 균열이 존재하는 경우의 응력확대계수를 구해 Raju-Newnam식과 비교하여 5%이내의 차이를 보였다. 또한, 인장하중을 받는 평판에 두개 균열이 존재하는 경우의 해석을 통해 상호 간섭 효과를 분석하였다.
