摘要：
Based on the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics, the relationships between material constants c3, c4 required in Abaqus and constants C,m in Paris formula are derived. Then extended finite element method (XFEM) of Abaqus software is used to is used to predict the crack propagation path and life of the plate with center inclined through crack and typical stiffened wing spar with initial crack under the constant amplitude fatigue load. The results show that the predicted crack propagation path is in good agreement with the experimental results, and the crack propagation life error is less than 6.3%. It also shows that this method can accurately predict the fatigue crack growth path and life of two-dimensional and three-dimensional complex structures under constant amplitude loads. This study can provide an effective way for damage tolerance analysis of structures and has certain engineering application value. © 2019 Journal of Northwestern Polytechnical University.
