"Separating Morphing Adaptive Remeshing Technology (S.M.A.R.T) crack growth, is a feature in Ansys Mechanical that provides an efficient method for predicting crack growth and life under general loading conditions. It’s an advanced, remeshing-based Fracture Mechanics tool that can be used for (quasi-)static as well for fatigue crack growth simulations. This course delves into the simulation of semi-elliptical crack initiation and propagation, and the modeling of crack-closure using the S.M.A.R.T approach in the Ansys Mechanical environment. It includes several Workshops, each with a short Theory section and a detailed Step-by-Step Guide, providing a comprehensive understanding of crack kinking and mesh refinement, crack closure impacts on crack growth, adaptive crack-initiation and propagation, and crack growth under non-proportional loading conditions. The course also includes a comparative analysis of the effects of crack-closure on load cycles for a specimen, providing practical insights into real-world scenarios."
