Numerical and experiment fracture modeling for multiple cracks of a finite aluminum plate

In the present paper, an extended finite element method for prediction of stress intensity factor, fracture toughness, and failure load for multiple cracks configurations of finite Aluminum alloy plate are examined using ABAQUS software. The tensile experiment is performed to evaluate failure load, and fracture toughness for multiple cracks configurations. The extended finite element method predicted fracture parameters are compared with...
