CRACK INFLUENCE ON A PIPE WITH DOUBLE SLOPE UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE: NUMERICAL SIMULATION WITH XFEM

This work analyses the effect of elliptical cracks on a pipe with double slope thickness transition, using the extended finite element method (XFEM), level sets were defined to describe the three-dimensional (3D) cracks. The Computation of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of cracks is performed....
