With the growing development and utilization of underground space and resources, rock
masses exposed to high stresses and pore pressure, large temperature changes, and …

Cohesive zone model (CZM) has gained considerable attention to investigate the fracture
mechanism of asphalt mixture. The parameter of CZM was generally determined through …

Symplectic analytical singular element (SASE) is a special crack-tip element in the
framework of finite element method (FEM) for modelling cracks. A group of SASEs, which …

The characteristics of full-field stress govern internal crack initiation and propagation in
solids. It is challenging to use traditional fracture theories to quantify three-dimensional (3D) …

Numerical study on crack propagation are of great importance for structure design and
assessment. In this contribution, the floating node method (FNM) is combined with the …

In the last few years, the corresponding author and colleagues proposed a type of
symplectic analytical singular elements (SASEs) for various crack problems, such as cracks …

In this study, the crack problem in linear viscoelastic material is investigated numerically.
The time dependent two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic crack problem is treated by the …

The bottom-up crack (BUC), one kind of reflective crack that initiates at the bottom of asphalt
layer and propagates upwards, has become one of the major distresses of asphalt …

Cohesive zone model (CZM) has gained considerable attention to investigate the fracture
mechanism of asphalt mixture. The parameters of CZM in finite element (FE) model could be …

A cohesive crack problem with initially rigid traction‐separation relation has been
considered here. It has been shown that the total potential energy is not differentiable at the …
