Elements with penalized equilibrium and rotational degrees of freedom in fracture mechanics problems

This thesis deals with the solution of linear elastic fracture mechanics problems. To solve the linear elastic fracture mechanics problems, the finite element method and path independent integrals are employed, namely Rice's J integral and an alternative path independent integral I *, which is...
