Abstract

The SGBEM-FEM alternating method has been known to be a very effective method for analyzing threedimensional cracks in a finite body. The accurate values of the stress intensity factor can be obtained for a general planar or nonplanar three-dimensional crack. In the existing method, eight-noded quadrilateral boundary elements are used to model a crack. In some cases, three-node triangle boundary elements are more convenient for the modeling of a crack with a general shape. In this study, a crack is modeled with three-noded triangular and seven-noded quadrilateral elements by using the advancing-front mesh generation method. The stress intensity factors are obtained for cracks with several shapes and the accuracy of results is examined.

SGBEM-FEM 교호법은 유한 물체 내에 존재하는 삼차원 균열을 해석하는 유용한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 이 방법으로 일반적인 평면 혹은 비평면 삼차원 균열에 대한 정확한 응력강도계수를 구할 수 있다. 기존의 방법에서는 균열을 모델화 하는데 8 절점 사각형 경계요소를 사용한다. 그러나 임의 형상의 균열의 경우는 3 절점 삼각형 요소를 사용하여 균열을 모델화 하는 것이 더 편리하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3 절점 삼각형 요소와 7 절점 사각형 요소를 사용하여 전진 프런트 법으로 균열을 모델링 하였다. 사용된 균열 모델의 정확성을 검토하기 위하여 몇 가지 형상의 균열에 대하여 응력강도계수를 구하여 기존의 해와 비교하였다.
