Outline of Final Research Achievements

The unstable crack growth of the wing crack under the uniaxial compression is discussed experimentally and numerically. In experimental discussion, images of unstable growth of two and three dimensional wing cracks are captured by the ultra-high-speed camera with the frame rate of 500k frames per second. Stress field in the specimen including propagating cracks is visualized by means of photo-elastic technique, and images of the resultant fringe patter are also captured by the high-speed camera successfully.
Next, two dimensional dynamic numerical analysis is performed. PDS-FEM (Particle Discretization Scheme), which allows the discontinuity of the displacement in the continuous body, is combined with the contact surface algorithm, and applied to simulate the unstable growth of the wing crack dynamically. The accuracy of the simulation is discussed through the comparison with the images which are captured by the high speed camera, and they showed a good agreement.
