4. B modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

In this modeling, the simplex method is tested for crack propagation.

Level-sets are determined by solving the updating equations.

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The same mesh as in modeling A. is used here.

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

For each propagation step, we test the value of the stress intensity factors \({K}_{I}\) and \({K}_{\mathrm{II}}\) given by CALC_G.
