Fracture mechanics

Submitted by vinay kumar B A on

hi all..

 

i am having one doubt, please help me.

 

In a isotropic plate,  if crack tip is present then to model the crack tip we use quarter point element ( IN ANSYS).

if we wants to model more than one crack tip than ,, ansys will give following error

" Only one stress concentration can be specified per area"

Please let me know what is the procedure to model more than one crack tip.

Thanking you
