Sure... I have seen many tutorials for SIF evaluation. But all were for 2D plate. I am trying for 3D plate so that I can get variation of SIF along thickness.

Yes, I am trying for brittle material fracture (Linear elastic fracture).

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to evaluate SIF for 3D plate applying out plane shear force. I want to know how SIF is varying along the thickness.

I am trying to evaluate SIF for 3D plate using ansys APDL. Please share tutorial/notes if available.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I have solved problem for Pure Mode-I on same plate and there is close agreement between theoretical and Abaqus results. I have used 2D CPS8R element in solving this problem. but it is not working in case of Mode-II SIF.

I am trying to evaluate pure Mode-II SIF using Abaqus for edge normal crack in the plate. The solution i am getting using Abaqus is not matching with the theoretical SIF. The boundary condition i have used is shown in fig attached. suggest me proper boundary condition to evaluate the SIF.
