The cohesive segments method for the simulation of fracture Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The cohesive segments method is briefly described. This method, which uses the partition-of-unity property of finite element shape functions, allows for the simulation of discontinuous crack growth in a mesh independent way. The potential of the method in both quasi-static and dynamic simulations is illustrated by two examples.
