Semianalytic Finite-Element Method in Dynamic Problems of Linear Fracture Mechanics.

An effective approach to the simulation of crack-type fracture is developed based on the semi-analytical finite element method. Algorithms for determining the parameters of fracture strength for elastic bodies of revolution and prismatic bodies under non-stationary force loading of different intensity and duration are proposed. The energy approach based on the application of a special prismatic and ring finite elements with crack under dynamic loading are used to calculate the fracture parameters. The efficiency of the algorithms is estimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
