Development of Crack Generation and Propagation Algorithms for Computational Structural Mechanics
Abstract
This thesis describes the latest advances in crack generation and propagation implemented in SIMPACT, a general purpose, large deformation, explicit structural dynamics code developed at the Center for numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), and its coupling with FEFLO, a general purpose compressible and incompressible flow solver based on adaptive unstructured grids. Details on the codes, as well as the coupling strategy are given. Examples illustrate the possibilities the present-fluid-structure coupling offers.
