Anderson’s book, third ed. , chap 12
Energy domain integral method:
- Formulated by Shih et al. (1986):
- Generalized definition of the J- integral (nonlinear materials, thermal strain, dynamic effects).
- Relatively simple to implement numerically, very efficient.
Elements of Theory
Finite element (FE) code ABAQUS version 6.5
CF Shih, B. Moran and T. Nakamura, “Energy release rate along a three-dimensional crack front in a thermally stressed body”, International Journal of Fracture 30 (1986), pp. 79-102
ABAQUS: - suite of powerful engineering simulation programs
- based on the finite element method
- for simple linear analyses and most challenging nonlinear simulations
Abaqus 6.5 :
creates input files (.inp) that will be processed by Abaqus standard.
products associated with Abaqus:
For details see the Getting Started Manual of Abaqus 6.5
can be used for producing/ importing the geometry to be analyzed.
is useful to monitor/control the analysis jobs and display the results (Viewer).
Abaqus Standard : general-purpose analysis product that can treat a wide range of problems.
CAE : interactive, graphical environment allowing models to be created quickly.
Optional capabilities (offshore structures, design sensitivity calculations)
Abaqus Explicit : intended for modeling brief, transient dynamic events (impact) uses an explicit dynamic finite element formulation.
In 2D, under quasistatic conditions, J may be expressed by
and,
The contour surrounds the crack tip.
The limit indicates that shrinks onto the crack tip.

Under certain circumstances, H is divergence free, i.e. , 0ki iH

In the general case of thermo-mechanical loading and with body forces and crack face tractions:

Contributions due to crack face tractions.
- This integral is evaluated using ring elements surrounding the crack tip.
- Different contours are created:
In Abaqus:
First contour (1) = elements directly connected to crack-tip nodes.
The second contour (2) are elements sharing nodes with the first, … etc
