A Finite Element-based Adaptive Energy Response Function Method for Curvilinear Progressive Fracture

<p> An adaptive arbitrary-order curvilinear progressive 2D crack growth algorithm is presented. The method uses the ZFEM hypercomplex finite element program to compute arbitrary order derivatives of strain energy with respect to self-similar or perpendicular crack extensions, and then construc...
