Abstract: The crack propagation path was simulated based on the piecewise linear plastic material model, which was caused by the collision between moving object and caging device using LS-DYNA software. Furthermore, four cases related to crack angles, crack depths, failure strains, and impact velocities were presented to analyze the crack growth laws. The results show that impact velocities and crack angles both have a great influence on crack propagation path, while crack depths or failure strains impacts relatively less.

Key words: crack propagation, LS-DYNA, caging device, explicit dynamic, collision
