Overview

Randomized trial investigates thermo-mechanical fracture behaviors in brittle and quasi-brittle solids, highlighting model accuracy.

Key Points

  • This work aims to develop a hybrid peridynamics-FEM model that effectively predicts brittle and quasi-brittle fracture under thermo-mechanical loads.
  • Developed a hybrid PD-FEM model for analyzing brittle and quasi-brittle fracture
  • Applied bond-based PD for heat conduction and non-ordinary state-based PD for mechanical analysis
  • Created failure models for brittle and quasi-brittle bonds using established energy concepts
  • The PD-FEM model demonstrates robust performance in predicting both brittle and quasi-brittle fracture behaviors
  • The model is validated against typical examples showing it is mesh-insensitive
  • Both critical bond energy and nonlocal cohesive zone models accurately describe fracture dynamics.
