Crack branching in composite materials

This project covers the parametric study of the stress intensity factors of a horizontal crack branching into two directions at the same angle and same distance, when the propagation of the crack is retarded by an inclusion. The analysis is performed with the finite element software, ANSYS/ MULTI...
