  1. Complex Variable Finite Element Methods for Fracture Mechanics Analysis Harry Millwater, Ph.D. David Wagner, MS Jose Garza, MS Andrew Baines, BS Kayla Lovelady, BS Carolina Dubinsky, MS Thomas Ross, MS Sivirt Student Seminary, April 2013

  2. Overview • Development of the complex variable finite element method (ZFEM) • Derivatives wrt shape, material prop, load and others • Implemented into the Abaqus finite element code • Verification against known solutions • Applications to fracture mechanics • Future efforts

  3. Finite Difference Method Im Perturb along the imaginary axis Finite Differencing Re h Forward Differencing Determining h is problematic

  4. Complex Taylor Series Expansion Im Perturb along the imaginary axis Subset of Fourier Differentiation h Re h can be “very” small ~ 10-30

  5. Example: Finite Difference CTSE No subtraction of nearly equal numbers h can be as small as desired Exact derivative can be recovered as h becomes small

  6. Finite element Implementation

  7. Finite Element Analysis • Shape sensitivities “difficult” to compute using finite difference method • Mesh must be perturbed enough to “see” the perturbation but not too large to distort elements h must be kept small

  8. Complex Variable Advantage Perturb nodal coordinates in imaginary axis only! Minimal mesh distortion issues!

  9. Computational Issues Standard finite element EXCEPT complex nodal coordinates Stiffness matrix is now complex->COMPLEX solver required Apply an imaginary displacement to the nodal coordinates to represent a shape (domain) change Shape change is arbitrary Sensitivities for entire displacement/strain/stress available Imaginary displacement

  10. Example: 1st Der. of σθ w.r.t. Ri Analytic Solution CTSE UTSA Matlab code • A. Voorhees, H.R. Millwater, R.L. Bagley, “Complex Variable Methods for Shape Sensitivity of Finite Element Models,” Finite Elem. Anal. Des., 47 (2011) 1146–1156, doi:10.1016/j.finel.2011.05.003

  11. L2 Norm – Error controlled by Mesh L2 norm reduces as mesh is refined

  12. Current Effort – Implementation into Abaqus Abaqus user element implementation (uel) 6 dof/node (3 real, 3 imag) Abaqus cannot solve complex stiffness matrix, represent as real n x n complex matrix solved as 2n x 2n real matrix

  13. Abaqus Example Plane Strain ½ P ½ P Real nodes (physical coordinates) Imaginary nodes (perturbation in physical coordinates Abaqus UEL (user element) Plane stress/strain Element has 8 nodes (4 real, 4 imag)

  14. Abaqus UEL Example Code COMPLEX(KIND=r8),DIMENSION(MCRD ,NNODE/2 ) :: zCOORDS COMPLEX(KIND=r8),DIMENSION(NNODE,NNODE)::zAMATRX !Complex Stiffness Matrix !Construct complex nodal coordinate array zCOORDS = CMPLX(COORDS(1:2,1:3), COORDS(1:2,NNODE/2+1:NNODE)*h) f1 = zCOORDS(1,2)*zCOORDS(2,3) - zCOORDS(1,3)*zCOORDS(2,2) f2 = zCOORDS(1,3)*zCOORDS(2,1) - zCOORDS(1,1)*zCOORDS(2,3) f3 = zCOORDS(1,1)*zCOORDS(2,2) - zCOORDS(1,2)*zCOORDS(2,1) b1 = zCOORDS(2,2) - zCOORDS(2,3) b2 = zCOORDS(2,3) - zCOORDS(2,1) b3 = zCOORDS(2,1) - zCOORDS(2,2) c1 = zCOORDS(1,3) - zCOORDS(1,2) c2 = zCOORDS(1,1) - zCOORDS(1,3) c3 = zCOORDS(1,2) - zCOORDS(1,1) Area = half * (f1 + f2 + f3) zAMATRX = MATMUL(Bt, MATMUL(Cthick,zB_ip) ) * Area

  15. Obtaining Derivatives • Shape sensitivity – input imaginary coordinates to represent shape change. (All Imag nodes not perturbed have a value of zero) Nodal Coordinates 1 (0,0) 2 (1,0) 3 (0,1) 4 (1,1) 5 (0,0) 6 (0,0) 7 (0,1)h 8( 0,1)h ½ P ½ P 7 3 8 4 L h = 10-10 1 5 2 6

  16. Obtaining Derivatives • Load sensitivity – Apply perturbation in loading to IM nodes. Applied Loads 3 (0,1/2 P) 4 (0,1/2 P) 7 (0,1/2)h 8( 0,1/2)h ½ P ½ P 7 3 8 4 Imaginary coordinates all zero h = 10-10 1 5 2 6

  17. Obtaining Derivatives • Material sensitivity – Apply perturbation to constitutive matrix. ½ P ½ P 7 3 8 4 h = 10-10 Imaginary coordinates all zero 1 5 2 6

  21. Applications to Fracture Mechanics

  22. Weight Function Development Calculation of the partial derivative of the crack opening displacement with respect to crack length required • Standard research approaches: • Assume 3-4 term approximations to du/da or approximate the weight fn. directly. Use multiple reference solutions to solve for Mi

  23. Perturbation of Crack Length Crack tip element can be perturbed in the imaginary domain – no perturbation of real mesh Perturb a no. of elements around the crack tip Perturbation of Crack Length in Imaginary domain

  24. Accuracy: Infinite Array of Cracks Crack Opening Displacement 67 – 181 nodes on crack line Accurate calculation of the crack opening displacement with respect to crack length all along the crack line

  25. Infinite Array Weight Function Accuracy controlled by the user: high order expansions possible 3-term[reference] 7-term [WCTSE] 3-term[WCTSE]

  26. Accuracy: Crack from a Hole WCTSE ±0.15% WCTSE ±0.06% WCTSE weight function consistently better than published weight fns. D. Wagner, and H. Millwater, “2D Weight Function Development using a Complex Taylor Series Expansion Method,” Engng Fract Mech 86 (2012), 23-37
