Summary and Conclusions
30
� Displacement-controlled and thermal loading conditions are often encountered in real-life
engineering applications.
� Enriched finite elements allow computation of SIFs and simulation of crack growth in three-
dimensional structures accurately and efficiently
�No special mesh and post-processing needed
�FCPAS (Fracture and Crack Propagation Analysis System) – currently automated crack growth
simulations in plates and cylinders under different loading and boundary conditions
� Uniform stress and displacement loads on plates with surface cracks
�Crack growth profiles (a/c ratios) nearly same for growing crack
�Crack growth life higher for displacement/thermally loaded plates
� Bending stress and displacement loads on plates with surface cracks
�Crack growth profiles (a/c ratios) gets smaller under displacement loads as crack grows
�Crack growth life higher for displacement/thermally loaded plates
� Non-dimensional stress intensity factors the same along crack fronts for displacement loads the thermal
loads with plate fixed ends
