Crack growth in unidirectional composites using singular finite elements and interactive computer graphics

Graphical simulation of crack growth using singular finite elements and interactive computer graphics is presented. The study consists of two main parts : (i) the formulation and application of an anisotropic singular element (ASE) for analyzing homogeneous anisotropic materials with cracks and, (ii...
