This paper introduces a robust algorithm that efficiently generates high-quality unstructured
triangular meshes to model complex two-dimensional crack growth problems within the …

A full gas burst test was conducted to clarify the CTOA history during ductile crack
propagation in a high-pressure pipeline. The measurement results obtained by high-speed …

This study investigates the contribution of grain size to cleavage crack propagation
resistance in ferritic steels. A series of crack arrest tests were conducted using three kinds of …

Developing a numerical method to accurately simulate the brittle crack propagation
phenomenon is crucial for ensuring the safety of large-scale steel structures. Although …

Plate structures serve as the fundamental components of many large structures; therefore,
dynamic crack propagation in plates is a significant safety concern. This paper proposes a …

A strategy to efficiently analyse dynamic crack propagation based on the s-version of the
finite element method (s-method) is proposed. This strategy superimposes a local mesh over …

The skim milk powder (SMP) has problems of quantification and handling during milk
reconstitution for tea and coffee making. To address these issues, a novel product,“SMP …

In the present work, an extended finite volume method (EFVM) is incorporated with the
enriched hp-cloud approximate function which has Kronecker delta property (EHPCK) for …

Brittle fracture in carbon steel has serious impact on the fracture safety of steel structures.
Thus, technology that arrests crack propagation is the final defence for these structures …

A numerical procedure for estimating the critical dynamic energy release rate (G_ IDc G IDc),
based on experimental data is proposed. A generation phase simulation is conducted where …
