Accurate SIF solutions for through cracks in plates and shells can be
obtained from Finite Element Analysis only.
In LEFM, the 3 nodes at the crack tip normally tied and mid nodes
tip nodes are untied and the location of mid-side nodes unchanged.This
element produces a 1/ r strain singularity, which corresponds to the crack
tip strain field for fully plastic, non-hardening materials.
The most efficient mesh design for the crack tip region has proven
to be spider web configuration, which consist of concentric rings
of quadrilateral elements that are focused towards the crack tip.The
innermost ring are degenerated to triangular elements.Since the
crack tip region features steep stress and strain gradients, the mesh
refinement should be greatest at the crack tip.The spider web
design facilitates a smooth transition from a fine mesh at the crack
tip region to coarser mesh remote to the crack tip. Fig 11.17 shows
a half-symmetry FE Model of a single edge cracked panel.
