摘要
A detailed description of a new numerical method for the solution of dynamic fracture problems is presented. The method employs finite volume discretization of the equilibrium equations. The present work considers the analysis of rapid crack propagation (RCP) in two-dimensional geometries only. The simulation of steady-state RCP in a peeling-strip geometry, and an economical approach which allows the calculation of the crack driving force from a 'snapshot' computation of the displacement field are described. Also presented is the modelling of transient RCP in single edge notch tensile specimens, based on a fixed-mesh 'node release' technique and a 'holding back' force concept. It is shown that finite volume results are in very good agreement with both analytical and finite element predictions. The accuracy, simplicity and efficiency of this novel method are also demonstrated.
