Adaptive and fixed mesh investigaiton of localisation in strain-softening geomaterials

The influence of localisation in strain-softening soils has been investigated using classical continuum theory, and both fixed mesh and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) finite element approaches. For this purpose, a non-associated cohesion-softening Mohr-Coulomb soil model has been developed and, for...
