Generalized Displacement Correlation Method for Estimating Stress Intensity Factors

Jan 01, 2012
1.25 MB
Publicly accessible
This paper presents a generalized form of the displacement correlation method (the GDC method), which can use any linear or quadratic finite element type with homogeneous meshing without local refinement. These two features are critical for modeling dynamic fracture propagation pr...
