TI - Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Nonlinear Fracture based on Various Fracture Path Prediction Theories T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 1 IS - 4 SN - 1933-2815 AB - In this study, applicability of various fracture path prediction theories into dynamic elasto visco-plastic fracture is discussed by the moving finite element analyses. Outline of each fracture path theory and numerical method to predict fracture path are explained. Fracture path predictions are demonstrated in the numerical specimen model under mixed mode loading, and numerical results of fracture path prediction are compared.
