Applying the Cracking Elements Method for Analyzing the Damaging Processes of Structures with Fissures

In this work, the recently proposed cracking elements method (CEM) is used to simulate the damage processes of structures with initial imperfections. The CEM is built within the framework of the conventional finite element method (FEM) and is formally similar to a special type of finite element. Dis...
