  • Embedded discontinuities for softening solids 

    Wells, Garth Nathan; Sluys, LJ (Proceedings of the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Computational Mechanics (APCOM '99)Proceedings of the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Computational Mechanics (APCOM '99), 1999-12-06)
    Additional, discontinuous functions are added to the displacement field of standard finite elements in order to capture highly localised zones of intense straining. By embedding discontinuities within an element it is ...
