Abstract

In this paper, a method is proposed for extracting fracture parameters in anisotropic thermoelasticity cracking via interaction integral method within the framework of extended finite element method (XFEM). The proposed method is applied to linear thermoelastic crack problems. The numerical results of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) are presented and compared with those reported in related references. The good agreement of the results obtained by the developed method with those obtained by other numerical solutions proves the applicability of the proposed approach and confirms its capability of efficiently extracting thermoelasticity fracture parameters in anisotropic materials.
