Research on Fatigue Crack Propagation of 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel Based on XFEM and CZM

The fatigue crack propagation of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied both by experiments and numerical simulations. Two methods were applied to simulate the crack propagation: the extended finite element method (XFEM) and the cohesive zone model (CZM). Based on the XFEM, the direct cyclic sol...
