1 Complex Variable Finite Element Methods for Fracture Mechanics Analysis Harry Millwater, Ph.D. David Wagner, MS Jose Garza, MS Andrew Baines, BS Kayla Lovelady, BS Carolina Dubinsky, MS Thomas Ross, MS Sivirt Student Seminary, April 2013

2 Overview Development of the complex variable finite element method (ZFEM) Derivatives wrt shape, material prop, load and others Implemented into the Abaqus finite element code Verification against known solutions Applications to fracture mechanics Future efforts

3 Finite Difference Method Im Perturb along the imaginary axis Finite Differencing Re Forward Differencing h df (x o ) dx» f (x o + h) - f (x o ) h Determining h is problematic

4 Complex Taylor Series Expansion Perturb along the imaginary axis Im Subset of Fourier Differentiation h Re F(x + ih) = F(x) + ih df dx - h 2 2! - ih 3 3! d 3 F dx 3 + d 2 F dx 2 df (x o ) dx» Im( f (x o + ih)) h h can be very small ~ 10-30

5 Example: dexp[x] dx = Exp[x] Exp[(x + h)] - Exp[x] h Finite Difference Im[Exp[x +ih]]/h = Exp[x]sin(h)/h CTSE No subtraction of nearly equal numbers h can be as small as desired Exact derivative can be recovered as h becomes small

7 Finite Element Analysis Shape sensitivities difficult to compute using finite difference method Mesh must be perturbed enough to see the perturbation but not too large to distort elements h must be kept small

8 Complex Variable Advantage Perturb nodal coordinates in imaginary axis only! Minimal mesh distortion issues!

9 Computational Issues Standard finite element EXCEPT complex nodal coordinates Stiffness matrix is now complex->complex solver required Apply an imaginary displacement to the nodal coordinates to represent a shape (domain) change Shape change is arbitrary Sensitivities for entire displacement/strain/stress available u a Imaginary displacement
