Many crack models currently in use are 2-D models of material behavior. Unfortunately, materials response in application is three-dimensional. The purpose of this project is to modify existing 2-D crack growth models to simulate 3-D failure in materials.
This project is an opportunity for a graduate student with a strong background in engineering mechanics and finite element methods.
