In this post, I will show an example of using MACRO and *DOWHILE. The APDL is developed to model an experiment as shown below. Essentially it is a clamped-clamped cracked beam carrying a body. An important feature of the body is that its mass distributes far away from its centroid, hence the rotary inertia would … Continue reading The application of MACRO and *DOWHILE

3D Stationary Crack Analysis: J-integral and Stress Intensity Factor Calculation
We talked about 2D stationary crack analysis using KSCON in the last post. This time let's have a look at the 3D model using solid elements. A long plate with a centre crack is subjected to an end tensile stress. The sketch of the problem is as follows. A one-quarter model is used because of symmetry. … Continue reading 3D Stationary Crack Analysis: J-integral and Stress Intensity Factor Calculation
