Numerical modelling in non linear fracture mechanics

Some numerical studies of crack propagation are based on using constitutive models that account for damage evolution in the material. When a critical damage value has been reached in a material point, it is natural to assume that this point has no more carrying capacity, as is done numerically in th...
