Simulating Composite Fracture by the Extended Finite Element Method
University of Sheffield
School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering
In this project, three-dimensional analyses of fracture in composite laminates will be conducted. The aim is to investigate if the XFEM is capable to reproduce fracture in composites with a sufficient degree of accurateness in terms of energy release rates and stress intensity factors. Read more
