Abstract
This study focused on standard Compact Tension (CT) specimens and two loading modes during the numerical analyses carried out, namely: pure mode I and mixed-mode loading (Modes I+II). Numerical stress intensity factors, K<sub>I</sub>, were calculated using Abaqus<sup>®</sup> 2022 and compared with those given analytically under pure mode I loading, showing very good agreement. Additionally, K<sub>I</sub>, K<sub>II</sub>, and K<sub>III</sub> results obtained from Abaqus<sup>®</sup> were presented for mixed-mode loading, analyzing crack growth and variation through the thickness of the CT specimen. Moreover, fatigue crack growth simulations under mode I loading were conducted on standard CT specimens using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and the Paris Law parameters of an AISI 316L stainless steel. It was shown that XFEM effectively determines crack propagation direction and growth, provided that an appropriate mesh is implemented.
