Integration of Polynomials Times Double Step Function in Quadrilateral Domains for XFEM Analysis

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2023
The numerical integration of discontinuous functions is an abiding problem addressed by various authors. This subject gained even more attention in the context of the extended finite element method (XFEM), in which the exact integration of discontinuous ...

Cracking behavior of tungsten armor under ELM-like thermal shock loads: A computational study

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2015
In this work, the cracking behavior of tungsten under edge-localized mode (ELM)-like thermal shock loads was investigated on the basis of a rigorous computational fracture mechanical analysis combined with the finite element method.

Mechanical Response and Fracture of Pultruded Carbon Fiber/Epoxy in Various Modes of Loading

open access: yesCrystals, 2022
Pultrusion is a continuous process of forming constant cross-sections of unidirectional composites with a significant long length. This unique process is implemented widely in the composites industry due to its continuous, automated, and highly ...

Investigation of skin-core debonding in sandwich structures with foam cores

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2020
Debonding between the skins and the core in a sandwich structure is a critical failure mode in automotive applications; once debonding occurs, the load carrying capacity of a sandwich structure drastically decreases.

Plastic Zone Radius Criteria for Crack Propagation Angle Evaluated with Experimentally Obtained Displacement Fields

open access: yesBuildings
The monitoring and maintenance of cracked structures are generally carried out using structural integrity assessments. The plastic zone (PZ) crack path (CP) criteria state that a crack grows in a specific direction when the radius of the plastic zone ...
