Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, cilt.29, sa.8, ss.749-755, 2005 (SCI-Expanded, Scopus)
In this paper, a boundary element formulation of creep damage problems for three-dimensional problems using isoparametric quadratic elements is presented. The Euler method with automatic time-step control scheme is implemented for time integrations. Creep rupture life is predicted using a continuum damage mechanics approach. The proposed formulation is applied to the FE Benchmark problems, uniaxial, perforated plate and Multi-material cross-weld problems. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
