Data for: Plasticity-Induced Crack Closure from Surface to Deep Interior Locations – A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Study

The computer code performs 3D finite element crack closure analysis employing the remeshing concept. The code requires Intel MKL Library with the subroutine PARDISO for solving linear system equations. 3Dvmscode_20171016.txt - the 3D crack closure code with the remeshing concept implanted datainp_x64y004n25t1 - input file for the center crack specimen with a thickness of 2 mm datainp_x64y01n20t2 - input file for the center crack specimen with a thickness of 4 mm datainp_x64y02n25t5 - input file for the center crack specimen with a thickness of 10 mm datainp_x64y02n25t10 - input file for the center crack specimen with a thickness of 20 mm
