HI
I am working on mixed mode fracture mechanics project . I was wondering what would be the appropiate mesh size to calculate the SIF of Mode 2 accurately
i am using ansys to calculate the SIF's .. I need the size of the mesh in terms of the radius of the first ring of quadratic elements .
some specifications of my project that might be helpfull
Crack size = .1 (curvilinear crack)
width = 5
