On failure modelling in finite element analysis : material imperfections and element erosion

This dissertation concerns failure modelling with material imperfections and element erosion in finite element analyses. The aim has been to improve the element erosion technique, which is simple to use and implement and also computationally inexpensive. The first part of the dissertation serves as...
