NUMERICAL MODELLING OF THE AIRFRAME DAMAGE GROWTH FOR THE ADHESIVE REPAIR JOINT CALCULATION by A. A. Fedotov, A. V. Tsipenko, A. I. Lebedev

“…This paper is concentrated on application of the finite element methods to simulate the crack growth in isotropic material and on methods for accelerated calculation of the mechanical response of cracked structures. Crack growth simulation is performed based on XFEM methods where the created finite element model is complemented with asymptotic imitation function of crack tip and with discontinuous jump function across the crack surfaces. …”
