摘要
A new approach to simulating fracture, in which toughness is partitioned between the crack tip and, optionally, a process zone, is applied to dynamic fracture processes. In this approach, classical fracture mechanics determines crack tip propagation, and cohesive laws characterize process zone response and determine crack root and process zone propagation. The approach is implemented in the Material Point Method, a particle method in which the fracture path is unconstrained by a body-fitted mesh. The approach is found suitable for modeling a range of dynamic fracture processes, from brittle fracture to fracture with crack bridging. A variety of ways of partitioning toughness are explored with the aim of distinguishing model parameters via experimental measurements, particularly R curves. While no unique relationship exists, R curves, or effective R curves, on a suite of materials would provide substantial insight into model parameters. Advantages to the approach are identified, both in versatility and in regards to practical matters associated with implementing numerical fracture algorithms. It is found to perform well in dynamic fracture scenarios.
