Three Dimensional CS-FEM Phase-Field Modeling Technique for Brittle Fracture in Elastic Solids

The cell based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) was integrated with the phase-field technique to model brittle fracture in 3D elastic solids. The CS-FEM was used to model the mechanics behavior and the phase-field method was used for diffuse fracture modeling technique where the damage in a s...
