Abstract

This paper provides a summary of recent studies concerning numerical modeling of dynamic crack-propagation, Both “stationary mesh” as well as “moving mesh” finite-element procedures are examined. Simple procedures, using a moving mesh of conventional isoparametric elements in conjunction with certain path-independent integrals for the evaluation of stress-intensity factors for a dynamically propagating crack are presented.

Résumé

Le mémoire fournit des synthèses des études récentes relatives à la modélisation numérique de la propagation de fissures dynamiques. On examine, à la fois, le maillage “stationaire” et le maillage “mobile” utilisés dans les procédures d'éléments finis. On présente des procédures simples utilisant un maillage “mobile” d'éléments conventionnels isoparamétriques utilisé avec certaines intégrales indépendantes du parcours, en vue d'évaluer les facteurs d'intensité de contrainte dans le cas d'une fissure en cours de propagation dynamique.
