What is Improved Modeling of Surface Cracks in ABAQUS about?

This document summarizes a conference paper that proposes and investigates using multiple element types ("element mismatch") in a single finite element model to ease meshing complex crack problems in ABAQUS. The paper creates models of semi-elliptical surface cracks with tension loading using single element meshes and multi-element meshes. It finds that element mismatch models develop consistent stress intensity factors for different loads and geometries, with significantly lower computation times than sing
