On numerical integration for effective stress assessment at notches
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 25
Abstract
This paper presents a numerical method for non-local stress assessment by means of a general FE tool and the local stress field. Unlike usual calculations by means of a numerical PDE solver, a more general numerical integration is used. Different solutions are compared theoretically and numerically by evaluating the results obtained by two different FEM commercial software. The application of the non-local tension field is applied to the strength assessment of notches, welded joints and cracks.

Coupled fracture modes under anti-plane loading
The linear elastic analysis of homogeneous, isotropic cracked bodies is a Twentieth Century development. It was recognised that the crack tip stress field is a singularity, but it was not until the introduction&nb...
Fatigue life assessment of a non-load carrying fillet joint considering the effects of a cyclic plasticity and weld bead shape
Fatigue life depends strongly on irreversible contributions that accumulate during cyclic loading and unloading of structures. However, the correct identification of the loading path in terms of uniaxial or multi-...
Estimation of fretting fatigue life using a multiaxial stress-based critical distance methodology
This work presents a methodology for life estimation of mechanical couplings subjected to fretting fatigue. In this approach, a stress-based multiaxial fatigue parameter is evaluated at a critical distance below t...
Numerical experiments in 2D variational fracture
In the present work we present some results of numerical experiments obtained with a variational model for quasi-static Griffith-type brittle fracture. Essentially the analysis is based on a recent formulation by Francfo...
