A non-linear procedure for the numerical analysis of crack development in beams failing in shear by P. Bernardi, R. Cerioni, E. Michelini, A. Sirico

“…Numerical results have been compared to experimental evidences not only in terms of global structural response (i.e. applied load vs. midspan deflection), but also in terms of crack pattern evolution and maximum crack widths.…”

Predicting damage in notched functionally graded materials plates through extended finite element method based on computational simulations by Hakim Siguerdjidjene, Amin Houari, Kouider Madani, Salah Amroune, Mohamed Mokhtari, Barhm Mohamad, Chellil Ahmed, Abdelkrim Merah, Raul D.S.G. Campilho

“…The maximum stress criterion was employed for fracture initiation and the energy criterion for its propagation and evolution. The FGM (Al/SiC) structure is graded based on its thickness using a modified power law. …”
