cylindrical shell with part-through crack modeling using ANSYS

Submitted by Young Wook Kim on

i'm student and studying fracture mechanics.

now, i have some problems. i want to analyze the cylindrical shell with part-through crack using J-integral. I knew that this method needs radius shape at the crcktip. i tried it. But, this is very difficult to model when i modeled  quarter. So, i needs your help. is there any different way to model this?
