Abstract: : The analytical solving of fracture mechanics equations remains insufficient for complex mechanisms, hence the use of finite element methods (FEM). The paper considered a test specimen with double S355 steel notches, stressed in tension, causing crack opening with two planes of symmetry. The refinement of the mesh is carried out at the bottom of the notch using the elements of Barsoum. The stress concentration coefficient and the crack propagation velocity are evaluated.
Keywords: Double notch, S355 stell, FEM, Barsoum, crack propagation.
