This paper represents the state-of-the-art in the field of ice tank numerical simulation
methods. It gives a comprehensive review of existing commercial and prototype numerical …

Cohesive zone (CZ) modelling has been receiving increasing attention from the asphaltic
materials and pavement mechanics community as a mechanistic approach to model crack …

In topology optimization literature, the parameterization of design is commonly carried out on
uniform grids consisting of Lagrangian‐type finite elements (eg linear quads). These …

A scalable algorithm for modeling dynamic fracture and fragmentation of solids in three
dimensions is presented. The method is based on a combination of a discontinuous …

Cracking simulation in concrete-like structures is the subject of numerous investigations of
computational kind, in which different modeling techniques based on either smeared or …

Adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening schemes are proposed for efficient computational
simulation of dynamic cohesive fracture. The adaptive mesh refinement consists of a …

This work is concerned with a three-dimensional modelling of impact fracture behaviours of
laminated glass. A cohesive model that is able to account for path-dependent behaviours is …

The major processes that occur when level ice interacts with slo** structures (especially
wide structures) are the fracturing of ice and upcoming ice fragments accumulating around …

Glass fracture is the main failure pattern of windshield laminated glass subjected to low-
velocity impact. Previous studies normally employed solid elements in conjunction with …

We present a method to reduce mesh bias in dynamic fracture simulations using the finite
element method with adaptive insertion of extrinsic cohesive zone elements along element …
