Abstract: (6445 Views)
In this paper, the eXtended Finite Element Method is implemented to model the effect of the mechanical and thermal shocks on a cracked 2D orthotropic media. The uncoupled thermoelasticity equations are considered. Isoparametric four-node and eight-node rectangular elements are used to discrete governing equations. The dynamical stress intensity factors are computed by the interaction integral method. The Newmark and the Crank–Nicolson time integration schemes are used to numerical solve the spatial-discretized elastodynamic and thermal equations, respectively. A MATLAB code is developed to carry out all stages of the calculations from mesh generation to post-processing. Several elastic and thermoelastic numerical examples are implemented, to check the accuracy of the results and to investigate the effect of the orthotropic direction on the stress intensity factors.
