Abstract In the present study, a stress singularity field along free edges meeting at a corner in a three-dimensional joint structure is investigated. The order of stress singularity is determined using an eigen analysis based on a finite element method. Intensities of stress singularity not only at the corner but also along the free edge of interface are determined directly without any post-processing by a new FEM formulation referred to as a three-dimensional enriched FEM. Result in the present analysis is also compared with that in another numerical method. It was slightly larger than the intensity of stress singularity, which was… More >
