| Abstract: | This work presents numerical methods used for predicting crack paths in technical structures based on the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics. The FE-method is used in combination with an efficient remeshing algorithm and a post processor to calculate crack tip loading. The interaction of cracks and internal boundaries and interfaces is investigated. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
