3 Why use numerical methods? Different types of loadings can be investigated. The effect of different material properties can be investigated. More information about damage and deformation mechanisms can be gained. Material behaviour and structural behaviour can be predicted Properties that t are important t for the manufacturer can be linked to properties that are important for the user. Saves costs and enables more efficient product development FEM Process Solutions Material Performance Material performance Establish the important/critical material properties p Converting Packaging Design Delamination 3

4 The Finite Element-Method (FEM) is a method to solve partial differential equations procedure to solve field problems with engineering accuracy In field problems the parameters of interest are described by continuous or discrete field variables, e.g. Continuum mechanics Solid mechanics stress, strain Moisture transport Fluid mechanics Heat transfer, temperature Electro magnetic field theory... Finite element method Assume a deformation (displacement field) N u Calculate displacements N u = N N u Calculate strain N ε = β N u Calculate stress (in general non-linear relations) σ = F ( ) ε Principle of virtual work V σ : εdv = S t T uds + V f T udv 4

5 Way of working 1. Understand the problem (boundary conditions, symmetries, material models, approximations) 2. Modelling, discretisation, input data, selection of elements, Verification (PRE-PROCESSING) 3. Solving of systems of equations and calculation of relevant properties e.g. stress and strain 4. Analysis of output, graphical presentation (POST- PROCESSING) 5. Consequences of analysis Modelling, discretisation, input data, selection of elements, Verification (PRE-PROCESSING) Geometry (discretisation) Boundary conditions Material model σ = f(ε) 5

Large cracks in very large structures are required in order for LEFM to be applicable to paperboard. 26

J is defined as a path-independent line- integral around the crack-tip involving expressions containing stress, strain and displacement. 27

29 Conclusions, NLFM (J-integral method) Does predict failure quantitatively for large cracks and qualitatively ti l for short cracks Numerically cheap Easy calibration What information does J carry? J is a loading parameter J expresses the severity of the stresses at the crack-tip When J reaches a critical value, the crack starts to grow 29

30 Critical value of J (or K) is called fracture toughness 1. In order to formulate a fracture criterion, we need to know how severe stress states the material is able to withstand. 2. We need to know the critical value of J for the material, i.e. the fracture toughness (J c ) of the material. 3. The information from material testing on a test piece with a man-made crack is required to evaluate the fracture toughness. Predictions of failure Generally requires numerical methods 1. Material behaviour Fracture toughness Full-scale predictions of failure FE-analysis FE-analysis 3

34 Conclusions, Cohesive crack model Accurate predictions of failure for all crack sizes Numerically expensive Expensive, cumbersome and Time-consuming calibration No explicit fracture criterion needed Final remarks FPZ size important for the choice of fracture mechanics model. If FPZ is small crack tip fields are singular J-integral method predicts mode I in-plane failure of notched paper structures well. Cohesive stress models excellently predicts mode I inplane failure. Such models are also applicable for out-of-plane failure where the crack tip singularity concept is not unambiguously applicable. Fracture mechanics can be used for damage tolerance analysis of structures containing assumed defects. 34
