The Computational Method of Predicting the Crack Path in Confrontation with Laboratory Tests

Gontarz Jakub, Podgórski Jerzy

Advances in Science and Technology. Research Journal

2023

Vol. 17, no 2

90--110

The paper presents the results of laboratory tests and computer simulations of the pull-out test of a rod embedded in a concrete cylindrical sample. The main purpose was to verify the force-displacement relationship and the crack paths. The X-FEM method of fracture simulation was used. The authors compared a simple maximum principal stress criterion, as well as their own method of simulating fracture propagation in brittle materials, implemented with the user subroutine in the Simulia Abaqus FEA system. A number of conclusions were obtained in the analyzes, related to the influence of the finite element mesh size, the method of modeling the rod and its contact with concrete. The advantages of own method were presented. the reasons for the differences between the results of simulations and laboratory tests were presented.

Simulation of the Griffith's Crack Using Own Method of Predicting the Crack Propagation

Advances in Science and Technology. Research Journal

Vol. 15, no 4

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of brittle material fracture initiated by Griffith's crack situated at any angle with respect to the load direction. The simulations were performed with the Simulia Abaqus FEA system using the X-FEM method. The direction of the crack propagation was determined using the user's subroutine written in Fortran, implemented in the Abaqus system. The authors programmed several conditions for the direction of the fracture propagation: maximum principal stress criterion, Ottosen-Podgórski criterion, three criteria based on displacements around the crack tip, and the MTS criterion, which is based on stress intensity factors. For the purposes of this study, two shapes of the crack tip were analyzed - sharp and blunted. The relationship between the direction of the initial fracture and the direction of crack propagation was found. The simulations were carried out for the angles of the initial crack from 0° to 90°, every 10°. A theoretical analysis of the implemented criteria was also carried out and compared to numerical results. The influence of the shape of the crack tip on the simulation result was analyzed. It was shown that the simulation results closest to the theoretical results were obtained for the own implementation of the stress-based criteria. It has also been proven that the shape of the crack tip has little effect on the result if the finite element mesh is properly densified. However, the sharp crack has a disadvantage for small initial crack angles. The Author’s method of predicting the crack propagation has been proven correct and effective. This work is also the basis for the further development of the described method.
