솔리드 모델러, 자동요소분할 기법, 4면체 특이요소, 응력확대계수의 해석 기능을 통합하여, 3차원 균열의 응력확대계수를 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 균열을 포함하는 기하모델을 CAD 시스템을 이용하여 정의하고, 경계조건과 재료 물성치 및 절점밀도 분포를 기하모델에 직접 지정함으로써, 퍼지이론 에 의한 절점발생과 데로우니 삼각화법에 의한 요소가 자동으로 생성된다. 특히, 균열 근방에는 4면체 2차 특이요소를 생성시켰으며, 유한요소 해석을 위한 입력 데이터가 자동으로 작성되어 해석코드에 의한 응력 해석이 수행된다. 해석 후, 출력되는 변위를 이용하여 변위외삽법에 의한 응력확대계수가 자동적으로 계산되어 진다. 본 시스템의 효용성을 확인하기 위해, 인장력을 받는 평판내의 표면균열에 대해 해석하여 보았다.

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic nonlinear analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. 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 by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. In this system, burden to analysts fur introducing 3D cracks to the FE model as well as fur estimating their fracture mechanics parameters can be dramatically reduced. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

This paper describes an automated system for analyzing the stress intensity factors(SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. 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 by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delauuay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack fornt are shifted at the quarter-points are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. THe complete finite element (FE) model generated, i.e the mesh with material properties and boundary conditions is given to one of the commercial FE codes, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. To demonstrate practical performance of the present system, a semi- elliptical surface crack in a plate subjected to tension is solved.
