You have saved my life. Such a wonderful tutorial !

My pleasure 😊

thank you very much！

Tnx for the great video. Do you know how to simulate crack growth in hyperelastic models sir?

[@antongoransson5484]

You are a saviour

Thank you :)

Dear,
That was a great video. Can u make a similar video on XFEM crack in 3D? I also wanted to learn about the application of fatigue loading (using R, at Higher amplitude).
Thanks.

[@FaisalQayyum]

I do not think that there is a problem there.

[@mohamedaminefaham3390]

Hello sir,
Thank you for your videos,
I'm working on a fatigue test on steel specimen and i want to visualize temperature in the crack tip during the propagation phase. Is that possible in abaqus?
Thank's,

[@FaisalQayyum]

Hello, this would be a very interesting simulation. I have no experience with such model though.

Thanks !

Welcome!

[@sunils1056]

Thank you for the nice video. Is there any reference limit to the smaller circle on the crack tip ? Also will it affect the results if the dimensions of these circles are changed ?

[@FaisalQayyum]

Good question. There are some norms. Best practice is to try to keep the aspect ratio of the elements close to 1.

hi sir, can you say how will you draw a graph if we are comparing experimental data and numerical data if we are collecting experimental paper from other author because we dont have exptl data point only we r having is the numerical data..............please say

[@FaisalQayyum]

That is an interesting question, the contour integral approach yields J-Int or SIF on the crack tip and experimentally we obtain CMOD, crack length and applied force. This data is analytically processed and plotted together with a similar reference. Please take a look into my previous publications for more details:

How do wedge elements work in the crack field? I keep getting error

[@FaisalQayyum]

What's the error that you're getting ?

Why drawing the two circles
