Discontinuous modelling of strain localisation and failure
(Delft University of Technology, 2001-06-12)
The computational simulation of failure in solids poses many challenges. A proper understanding of how structures respond under loading, both before and past the peak load, is important for safe and economical constructions. ...
An interface element based on the partition of unity
(Delft University of Technology, 2001)
An alternative interface finite element is developed. By using the partition of unity property of finite element shape functions, discontinuous shape functions are added to the standard finite element basis. The interface ...
