Splines for damage and fracture in solids

This thesis addresses different aspects of numerical fracture mechanics and spline technology for analysis. An energy-based arc-length control for physically non-linear problems is proposed. It switches between an internal energy-based and a dissipation-based arc-length method. The arc-length contro...
