The standard quarter-point singular element is modified such that the near tip crack opening displacement satisfies a known constraint; the coefficient of the term in William s expression which is a linear function of the distance to the tip must vanish in order to have the singularity at the crack tip. Stress intensity factors computed using the modified quarter-point crack tip element the displacement correlation technique gives better results as compared to those obtained by the standard quarter-point element. The technique basically involves the same guidelines as that of the standard quarter-point element, where 6-noded quarter-point elements are adopted to mesh the singular region around the crack tip and 8-noded quadrilateral elements are adopted to mesh rest of the non-singular region. Based on the shape functions of the proposed modified quarter-point crack tip element the equations for computing the crack tip opening displacement and the stress intensity factors are presented taking into account the nodal displacement values of the elements around the crack tip. The results obtained using the modified quarter-point crack tip element are shown to be significantly more accurate than those obtained using the standard quarter-point element for both mode- and mixed-mode problems. PC Code: G01N n the numerical modeling of fracture, correct representation of the local stress and displacement fields in the crack tip region is essential for accurate evaluation of stress intensity factors (SFs). For a cracked geometry, William s 1, solution for the displacement field in the neighborhood of the tip is ( θ) = + ( θ) + ( θ) + ( θ) u r, a b r c r d r 1 3 k k k k k + L k = 1,, (1) where r is the distance to the crack tip and θ is the direction emanating from the tip as shown in Fig. 1. Thus, the crack opening displacement (COD) is performance. Recently, it has been proved by Gray and Paulino 8 that irrespective of the problem geometry or boundary conditions, coefficients of the linear terms in William s expansion 1, are related by c k ( π ) c ( π ) =, (3) k for uk on the crack faces. So the linear term vanishes from the expression of crack tip opening displacement evaluated along the crack faces, ( ) ( π ) ( π ) u r = u r, u r,. (4) k k k ( θ) ( θ) ( θ) ( θ ) u r, = b r + c r+ d r 1 3 k k k k + L k = 1,, () n the finite element modeling of discrete cracks, the standard approach is to incorporate the r - singularity by means of the quarter-point 3-5 (QP) element developed by Henshell and Shaw 6 and Barosum 7. Use of the QP singular elements has significantly improved the performance and over the years the element has been modified to enhance the *For correspondence ( bnrao@iitm.ac.in) Fig. 1 Definition of the coordinate system (x 1, x ) and (r, θ) for a notch or crack geometry
2 3 NDAN J. ENG. MATER. SC., FEBRUARY 007 The standard QP element fails to satisfy the constraint given in Eq. (3), and hence Eq. (4). Therefore by forcing the linear term in u to be zero, we expect to have a more accurate analysis at the crack tip region. Given the importance and interest in fracture mechanics of solids and structures, it is somewhat surprising that this simple analytical result went unobserved for so long 8. Modified Quarter Point Element The two-dimensional QP element shown in Fig. is based upon the six noded quadratic element. For t [0,1] with the crack tip at t=0, the shape functions for this element along the crack edge (corresponding to nodes 1, and 4) are given by ψ () t = ( 1 t)( 1 t) ψ ψ 1 4 () t = t( t 1) () t = 4t( 1 t) As ( u 1, u 1 ) ( 0 ) 1. (5) =,0 at the crack tip (node 1), the representations of the crack edge, Γ ( t) (corresponding to nodes 1, and 4) and COD, k uk ( t) ( x,y) x1ψ1( t) xψ( t) x4ψ4( t ),y1ψ1( t) + yψ() t + y4ψ4() t 4 u () t u ψ () t u ψ ( t) Γ = + +, = ( u 4 ) ( u1 t+ u1 4 u1 ) t 4 ( ) ψ ( ) ψ ( ) ( ) u t u t + u t = u u 4 t ( u ) t 4 u are + (6) COD at j-th node. As demonstrated earlier 6,7 by x,y three moving the mid-node coordinates ( ) 4 4 fourths of the way towards the tip, the parameter t, with L being the distance from becomes ( rl ) 1 ( x,y 1 1) to ( x,y ) term in. As a consequence, the first order uk, which is t, is the correct square root of distance ( rl ) 1. However the next term which is t, is rl. This term should vanish to give a more accurate representation of SFs. So the new shape ˆ ψ, ˆ ψ as given in Eq. (7) below, are functions, ( 4) assumed for nodes and 4 keeping the leading term t = r intact and replacing the ( rl ) 1 term with ( rl ) ˆ ψ () t = t( t 1) + t( 1 t)( 1 t ) 3= ( 4t t) 3 8 ˆ ψ ( ) ( ) ( )( ) ( 3 4 t = 4t 1 t 4t 1 t 1 t 3= t t) (7) 3 This simple modification to the shape functions for nodes and 4 accomplishes the cancellation of thet = r, without disturbing the interpolation, i.e., ( 0) 0, ( 1 ) 0, ( 1) ( ), ( ), ( ) ˆ ψ = ˆ ψ = ˆ ψ = 1 ˆ ψ 0 = 0 ˆ ψ 1 = 1 ˆ ψ 1 = 0 (8) Also as is shown in Fig. (3), this alteration does not change the shape functions and ψ used for ψ () ( ) t computing COD in Eq.

3 PAUL & RAO: QUARTER PONT ELEMENT FOR FRACTURE ANALYSS OF CRACS 33 Numerical mplementations SFs provided by the QP element (both modified and standard) will be calculated by means of the displacement correlation technique (). However, the point to be noted here is to evaluate the quality of modified QP element by means of very simple technique such as. The general expression of the mixed-mode SFs, and by means of are given by G π = lim u κ + 1 r 0 r (9) G π = lim u1 κ + 1 r 0 r where u k is the COD in the coordinate system associated with the crack tip under consideration, G is the shear modulus, ν is the Poisson s ratio, κ = 3 4ν κ = 3 ν 1+ν under plane strain and plane and ( ) ( ) stress conditions respectively. By using the modified QP shape functions in Eq. (7), we obtain ( ) ˆ ψ ( ) u = u ˆ ψ t + u t 4 k k k ( 4 ) 3 ( 8 4 = uk uk t + uk u ) k (10) ( ) based on the standard QP shape functions ψ, ψ. 4 Hence, the main advantage of the proposed technique is that no major modifications are required for its implementation any of the existing commercial software like (ANSYS, ABAQUS etc.) or research software like (FRANCD/L etc.), except replacing Eq. (9) with Eq. (11) for evaluation of the mixed-mode SFs, and. Numerical Examples and Discussion n order to assess the various featur es of the modified QP element both mode- and mixed-mode examples are presented. After obtaining the nodal displacement values of the crack tip elements the mixed-mode SFs, and are evaluated using Eq. (11). Singular QP 6-noded elements are used in the region around the crack tip, and 8-noded serendipity elements are used for rest of the problem domain. n all the examples Young s modulus E = units, Poisson s ratio ν = 0.5 units are used, and plane strain conditions are assumed for the numerical analysis. Example 1: Edge-Cracked Plate The example involves an edge-cracked plate as shown in the Fig. 4a fixed at the bottom and subjected to far field shear stress τ = 1unit applied at the top. The Use of Eq. (10) in Eq. (9) and noting that t = r/ L yields G π = lim r 0 L ( κ + ) G π = lim r 0 r ( κ + ) 4 ( u u) 4 ( u1 u1 ) (11) Thus, SFs are given directly in terms of the nodal values of the COD at the crack tip element. Since (Fig. 3) the interpolation characteristics of the proposed modified shape functions, ( ˆ ψ, ˆ ψ 4) are not radically different from the standard shape functions ( ψ, ψ 4), Eq. (11) can be used directly in conjunction with the nodal values obtained by adopting the standard QP element and can obtain more accurate predictions of the mixed-mode SFs, and. As shown in the numerical examples section below, the results obtained by Eq. (11) will be more accurate when compared with the Eq. (9), which is obtained Fig. 4 Edge-cracked plate; (a) geometry, and loads, (b) finite element discretization

Finite element discretization adopted as shown in Fig. 4b involved 711 nodes, 83 8-noded quadrilateral elements, and 48 focused quarter-point 6-noded triangular elements. Table 1 presents the SF values obtained by the proposed modified QP element. Table 1 also contains the solution obtained by the MCC, and the standard QP element in conjunction with. As can be seen from Table 1 the solution obtained by proposed modified QP element agrees well with the reference solution obtained by the J-integral method. A finer mesh needs to be employed when the standard QP elements are used, but in case of the modified QP elements the solution becomes less accurate as the mesh becomes finer. Thus better prediction of SFs can be obtained with coarse fine when the modified QP elements are adopted. This may be explained by the fact that the crack tip elements must be long enough in order for the t 3 ˆ ψ, ˆ ψ to exhibit their terms in the shape functions, ( ) presence. 4 Example : Plate with the crack initiating from the central hole The example involves a flat-plate with a central hole subjected to far-field normal stress σ = units as shown in Fig. 5. The radius of the hole is 0.5 units, the thickness of the specimen is 0.04 units and the crack length is a = 0.10 units. Since it is a symmetric problem, only half of the model is modeled for analysis purpose. Both symmetric and displacement boundary conditions are applied. Fig. 5 Plate with the crack initiating from the central hole Table presents the SF value, obtained by the proposed modified QP element. Table also contains the solution obtained by the MCC, and the standard QP element in conjunction with. As can be seen from Table the solution obtained by proposed modified QP element agrees well with the reference solution obtained by the J-integral method. Error (%) with reference to solution obtained by the J-integral method is least for the proposed method when compared with the solution obtained by the MCC, and the standard QP element. Example 3: nterior cracked plate Consider a plate containing a single interior crack which is oriented arbitrarily with respect to the angle θ as illustrated in the Fig. 6. The dimensions of the plate are H = W = 00 units with a crack length of a=0.4units placed centrally. Two cases are analyzed.

Case 1: θ = 0 (Mode-І) Table 3 contains the SFs for an infinite plate with a central crac k (θ = 0) at both left and right tips. The solution obtained by the J-integral method is taken as reference. With the mesh adopted, while the modified QP element can give very accurate value of the mode- SF with maximum % error = 0.361, the result Fig. 6 Plate containing an interior crack obtained from the MCC has maximum % error =.8607 and the standard QP element has maximum % error = Mode ІІ Case ( 0< θ < π ) Consider mixed-mode situation where ( 0 θ π ) < <. For this case the exact closed form so lutions of the SFs are available and are given by Exact Exact = σ πasin θ = σ πasinθcosθ (1) Tables 4 and 5 presents respectively the normalized SFs, and obtained by the Exact Exact proposed modified QP element and the Standard QP element in conjunctio n with, as a function of θ at the right crack tip and at the left crack tip. Very accurate results of SF were obtained by the proposed modified QP element. Example 4: Pair of interacting collinear cracks This is an example of two interacting cracks which have the same length a = 0. units and are separated b y a gap b units (see Figure 7). The plate can be considered as an infinite domain by using the same dimensions as those in the previous example. The cracks are subjected to uniaxial tension σ = 100 applied in the direction perpendicular to the cracks. The mode- SF at the inner crack tips is of interest. n the finite element mesh, for each crack, eight Table 3 Comparison of SFs for an infinite plate with a central crack (θ = 0) at both left and right tips Right Left Predicted value Error (%) * Predicted value Error (%) * MCC * Right = , Angle θ (degrees) Left = obtained by J ntegral method is taken as reference Table 4 Normalized SFs as a function of θ at the right crack tip Exact Exact

This error is less than 1% even when the ratio b/a is less than one-quarter. Table 6 presents the comparison of SF values for the two crack tips of interest for the two interacting collinear cracks for (i) b/a = 1, (ii) b/a =, (iii) b/a = 3, and (iii) b/a = 4. Table 6 contains the solution obtained by the proposed modified QP element in conjunction with, the MCC, and the standard QP element. As can be seen from Table 6 the solution obtained by proposed modified QP element agrees well with the reference solution obtained by the J-integral method. Figures 9a and 9b depicts respectively the error (%) of the solution obtained by the three methods with reference to solution obtained by the J-integral method at left crack (right tip) and at right crack (left tip). As can be seen from Figs 9a and 9b error (%) with reference to solution obtained by the J-integral method is least for the proposed method when compared with the solution obtained by the MCC, and the standard QP element. Fig. 8 Effect of crack interaction elements are employed along the crack-length and rosette of 8 elements is taken around the crack tip. The effect of crack interaction is depicted in Fig. 8. The numerical error of increases as the gap b between the cracks decreases. However, it can be seen that the increase in error rate for the standard QP is higher as the cracks come closer to each other. Moreover, the error from the modified QP is always Example 5: plate with off-centre crack This is an example of off-centre crack and it deals with a mixed mode case in a finite body. Consider a crack whose location and orientation are arbitrary in a plate, subjected to remote uniaxial tension σ =1 applied along the y-axis as shown in the Fig. 10. The following data are studied H = W = units, a = 0.5 units. The centre of location of the crack is at a distance e x = e y = 0.5 units from the origin. The standard and modified QP shape functions are used with eight elements along each of the crack-length and rosette of 8 elements around each of the crack tip. Tables 7 and 8 presents respectively the normalized SFs obtained by the proposed modified QP element, the standard QP element and the J-integral method, as a function of θ at the crack

The method requires a relatively coarse mesh around the crack tip. The non-requirement of very fine mesh around the crack tip can be accounted for the fact that there is a t 3 term in the new shape functions, ˆ ψ, ˆ ψ and for it to have effect, the ( ) 4 element edge length L must be sufficient. Thus, a relatively coarser mesh gives a far accurate result than the standard QP element. From the results obtained we can infer that the modified QP element can be very useful for crack propagation simulations. t is seen that not only for the Mode- case, but also for the Mixed-Mode case the use of the modified QP element combined with the technique gives far accurate results when compared with standard J-integral 9 results. A similar story follows when the comparisons are made with the existing analytical solutions existing. Since we have considered only linear elastic fracture mechanics, the usage of the modified QP element with modified shape functions only serves to improve the local COD solution at the crack tip, it is not expected to give accurate results for domain integral method of SF evaluation, e.g., J-integral.
