Overview
Transcript

The study of fracture mechanics is crucial for a variety of industries, including the automotive, naval, and aerospace industries. Watch this archived webinar to learn the basics of modeling fracture mechanics with COMSOL Multiphysics^®. In 18 minutes, we cover how to model a 3D crack problem and obtain the J-integral to calculate the stress intensity factor. You will also see how to model crack propagation in brittle materials by combining the phase field method with the finite element method.
