Comparison of Various Criteria Determining the Direction of Crack Propagation Using the UDMGINI User Procedure Implemented in Abaqus

This paper describes a method of predicting the direction of crack propagation implemented by user subroutines in the Simulia-Abaqus FEA system with the use of the extended finite element method (X-FEM). This method is based on displacements and stresses according to Westergaard’s solution of Griffi...
