Abstract

Abstract

In the framework of the extended finite element methods (XFEM), the extraction of dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) for stationary cracks being subjected to dynamic loads was detaily studied. Having constructed the approximation of dynamic XFEM, the derivation of governing equation for dynamic XFEM was presented. The Newmark implicit algorithm was used for time integration. Meanwhile, a mass lumping strategy for XFEM implicit dynamics was proposed. In addition, the interaction integral method was given for evaluating DSIFs. Compared with the interaction integral method for evaluating stress intensity factors (SIFs) of cracks under static conditions, the contribution of inertial effects was added to the interaction integral method for evaluating DSIFs. The numerical illustrations show that the XFEM can evaluate accurately DSIFs and the proposed mass lumping strategy is also quite effective. To obtain DSIFs correctly, the inertial effects on interaction integral cannot be ignored.
