The study introduces a numerical implementation of a quasi-static crack growth model for linearly elastic-perfectly plastic materials, showing evidence of intermittent crack growth with jump characteristics that are influenced by material properties.
We present a numerical implementation of a model of quasi-static crack growth in linearly elastic-perfectly plastic materials. We assume that the displacement is antiplane, and that the cracks and the plastic slips are localized on a prescribed path. We provide numerical evidence of the fact that the crack growth is intermittent, with jump characteristics that depend on the material properties.
