Abstract: | This paper deals with a new independent path integral which provides the mixed-mode during a creep crack growth process in viscoelastic orthotropic media. The developments are based on an energetic approach using conservative laws. The mixed-mode fracture separation is introduced according to the generalization of the virtual work principle. The fracture algorithm is implemented in a finite element software and coupled with an incremental viscoelastic formulation and an automatic crack growth simulation. This M-integral provides the computation of stress intensity factors and energy release rate for each fracture mode. A numerical validation, in terms of energy release rate and stress intensity factors, is carried out on a CTS specimen under mixed-mode loading for different crack growth speeds. |
