Analysis of delamination growth with discontinuous solid-like shell elements
(International Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid FlowInternational Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid Flow, 2004)
Delamination is one of the most important failure mechanisms in laminates. Normally, it is modelled using interface elements. These elements are placed between two layers that are modelled with continuum elements. The ...
A précis of some recent developments in computational failure mechanics
(International Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid FlowInternational Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid Flow, 2004)
A concise overview is given of various numerical methods that can be used to analyse localisation and failure in engineering materials. The importance of the cohesive-zone approach is emphasised and various ways of ...
A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model: 2D results
(Proceedings of the 6th World Congress on Computational Mechanics in Conjunction with theputational Mechanics 2nd Asian-Pacific Congress on Computational MechanicsProceedings of the 6th World Congress on Computational Mechanics in Conjunction with theputational Mechanics 2nd Asian-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics, 2004)
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models which involve gradients of the strain eld ...
