Abstract: A three-dimensional, elastic-plastic finite element program is developed and applied to analyze the stress field in a plate containing a through crack. The center cracked plate is subjected to ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, large deformation elastic-plastic finite element model is used to study the distribution of internal stresses and strains which occur during the forging process. Simulations ...

Abstract: Capabilities for the analysis of combined viscous and plastic behavior have been added to an existing finite element computer program for two-dimensional elastic-plastic calculations. This program ...

Abstract: An improved procedure for enriching three-dimensional isoparametric elements with the asymptotic crack front solution is described. Results from finite element calculations, involving these enriched ...
