To remove mesh bias and provide an accurate crack path representation in mixed‐mode
investigation, a novel stress recovery technique is proposed in conjunction with a domain …

General polyhedral discretizations offer several advantages over classical approaches
consisting of standard tetrahedra and hexahedra. These include increased flexibility and …

A generic smeared crack modeling framework predicated on the deformation gradient
decomposition (DGD) approach is proposed for use in dynamic fracture problems at finite …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a finite element formulation for modeling
nearly incompressible materials at large strains using polygonal elements. The present finite …

In this paper, a simple approach based on the independent cover method is presented for
failure analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Capability of complex fracture …
