A New Scheme for Crack Growth Modeling by Coupling Modified Quarter Point Crack-Tip Element and the Level Set Method
In this paper, an efficient, numerical procedure is presented to track crack growth modeling without remeshing. The method's key feature is the coupling of a modified quarter-point crack tip element (MQPE) with the level set method (LSM) for crack growth problems. The LSM was used to represent...
