In the present paper, a mesh independent computational algorithm is developed and incorporated into a commercial finite element software (Abaqus) for automated fatigue crack growth analysis under mixed mode variable amplitude loading conditions. The algorithm calculates the stress intensity factor (SIF) at predetermined small crack growth increments in the finite element software by using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and predict the fatigue crack growth (FCG) path through local symmetry (K-II = 0) criterion. The aforementioned algorithm also computes the FCG life by means of cycle-by-cycle integration method through Nasgro equation based on the equivalent SIF range. Load history effects are also taken into account by using appropriate retardation models according to nature of the loading. For verification purpose, experimental crack path trajectories and fatigue life data available in the open literature are compared with computational results. Quite good agreements are obtained between the computed and the experimental results.

Vibration-based damage identification in beam-like composite laminates by using artificial neural networks
Şahin, Melin (SAGE Publications, 2003-01-01)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of the combination of global (changes in natural frequencies) and local (curvature mode shapes) vibration-based analysis data as input for artificial neural networks (ANNs) for location and severity prediction of damage in fibre-reinforced plastic laminates. A finite element analysis tool has been used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of intact and damaged cantilever composite beams for the first three natural modes. Different damage scenarios have been introdu...
Application of genetic algorithms to geometry optimization of microclusters: A comparative study of empirical potential energy functions for silicon
Erkoc, S; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Halıcı, Uğur (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01)
Evolutionary computation techniques (in particular, genetic algorithms) have been applied to optimize the structure of microclusters. Various empirical potential energy functions have been used to describe the interactions among the atoms in the clusters. A comparative study of silicon microclusters has been performed.
Numerical Simulation and Formulation of Wave Run-Up on Dam Face due to Ground Oscillations Using Major Earthquake Acceleration Records
DEMİREL, ENDER; Aydın, İsmail (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-06-01)
A previously developed computational model is used for wave run-up analysis in a generic two-dimensional reservoir subjected to major earthquake acceleration records. The model is based on numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and pressure equation considering compressibility effects. An existing model has been revised by the volume of fluid (VOF) method with piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) to be able to compute violent wave motion in the reservoir and to predict the maximum wave r...
Coupled thermoviscoplasticity of glassy polymers in the logarithmic strain space based on the free volume theory
Miehe, Christian; Mendez Diez, Joel; Göktepe, Serdar; Schaenzel, Lisa Marie (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15)
The paper outlines a constitutive model for finite thermo-visco-plastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers and considers details of its numerical implementation. In contrast to existing kinematical approaches to finite plasticity of glassy polymers, the formulation applies a plastic metric theory based on an additive split of Lagrangian Hencky-type strains into elastic and plastic parts. The analogy between the proposed formulation in the logarithmic strain space and the geometrically linear theory of pl...
Dissimilarity maximization method for real-time routing of parts in random flexible manufacturing systems
Saygin, C; Kilic, SE (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-04-01)
This paper presents a dissimilarity maximization method (DMM) for real-time routing selection and compares it via simulation with typical priority rules commonly used in scheduling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). DMM aims to reduce the congestion in the system by selecting a routing for each part among its alternative routings such that the overall dissimilarity among the selected routings is maximized. In order to evaluate the performance of DMM, a random FMS, where the product mix is...
