An efficient low order virtual element method (VEM) for crack-propagation in elastic solids at
small strains is outlined within this work. The recently developed VEM is a competitive …

An efficient low-order virtual element method (VEM) for the phase-field modeling of ductile
fracture is outlined within this work. The recently developed VEM is a competitive …

We propose an adaptive curved virtual element method (ACVEM) which is able to combine
an exact representation of the involved computational geometry and a dynamic tuning of the …

In this paper, a hybrid variational framework for the Virtual Element Method (VEM) is
proposed and a family of polygonal elements for plane elasticity is developed. Under …

We present a general form of the gradient-enhanced damage theory and its numerical
implementation using finite element method (FEM) in modeling quasi-static brittle crack …

We present a virtual element method (VEM)-based topology optimization framework using
polyhedral elements, which allows for convenient handling of non-Cartesian design …

In this paper, the novel concept of Serendipity Virtual Elements is extended to the case of
compressible hyper-elastic materials in 2D. Second order polynomials are adopted for the …

The virtual element method is a lively field of research, in which considerable progress has
been made during the last decade and applied to many problems in physics and …

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time how the Integrated Finite Element Neural
Network (I-FENN) framework, previously proposed by the authors [1],[2], can efficiently …

Some years ago, a family of large deformation continuum finite elements based on reduced
integration was investigated by Reese (2005), Schwarze and Reese (2011) and Frischkorn …
