Simulation of Bending Fracture Process of Asphalt Mixture Semicircular Specimen with Extended Finite Element Method
In order to numerically simulate the whole fracture process including the initiation and propagation of crack in asphalt concrete semicircular specimens under external force, the extended finite element method (XFEM) was adopted considering the shortcomings of the conventional finite element method...
