  • Strong embedded discontinuities for simulating fracture in quasi-brittle materials 

    Alfaiate, J; Wells, Garth Nathan; Sluys, LJ (Fracture Mechanics of Concrete StructuresFracture Mechanics of Concrete Structures, 2001)
    In this paper embedded strong discontinuities are used to model discrete cracking in materials like concrete. In the approach followed a discontinuous displacement field is considered and the deformation is localized at a ...
