Crack Kinking and Mesh Refinement

This lesson demonstrates the process of simulating the initiation and propagation of a semi-elliptical crack using the S.M.A.R.T. technique. The objective is to provide a practical understanding of how this technique can be applied to analyze and predict crack behavior in various materials and structures. The lesson will cover the necessary steps and considerations for setting up and running the simulation, as well as interpreting the results.
