What is Analysis of Cracked Anisotropic Plates Using the Hybrid Finite Element Method about?

This paper presents a convenient and efficient method to obtain accurate stress intensity factors for cracked anisotropic plates. In this method, a complex variable formulation in conjunction with a hybrid displacement finite element scheme is used to carry out the stiffness and stress calculations of finite cracked plates subjected to general boundary and loading conditions. Unlike other numerical methods used for local analysis such as the boundary element method, the present method results in a symmetric stiffness matrix, which can be directly incorporated into the stiffness matrix representing other structural parts modeled by conventional finite elements. Therefore, the present method is ideally suited for modeling cracked plates in a large complex structure.

Who reads Analysis of Cracked Anisotropic Plates Using the Hybrid Finite Element Method?
