Abstract:
In this study, a new approach of the
application of finite element method is presented,
to solve the initial stages of crack propagation
problems which mean the deformation due to the
stress and strain of a material. In early
applications of the finite element method for the
analysis of crack propagation, the crack-tip
motion was modelled by discontinuous jumps. We
have implemented one dimensional finite element
discretization to solve crack propagation
problem. The parallel algorithm with parallel
computer system has been used in order to
perform the computational analysis of finite
element for this study. Parallel Virtual Machine
(PVM) has been used as a message passing
software with Parallel Computer System. The
result of this study will be useful in the
mathematics and engineering fields. In
mathematics, the research will widen the
application of finite elements in solving the
engineering science problems.
