Abstract
In this paper, crack shape evolution under out-of-plane pure bending loads in plates with an initial through-thickness edge crack is investigated experimentally and computationally. Such cracks were numerically simulated by a step-by-step 3D finite element technique as an attempt to reproduce the evolving geometry of the crack front for the present problem, considering contact on the closed part of the crack faces. The purpose of this numerical...
