Modeling of Complex Shaped Cracks

Abstract

The paper proposes modeling approaches of complex shape cracks. Structures may present many types of defects, of different irregular shapes and sizes, due to various reasons, and so it is very important for the model of the crack used to be accurate. There are three main categories for modeling of cracks; local stiffness reduction, discrete spring models, and complex models in two or three dimensions each proving to be reliable methods for generating finite element models.
