An enhanced scaled boundary finite element method for linear elastic fracture

A blocked Hamiltonian Schur decomposition is herein proposed for the solution process of the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM), which is demonstrated to comprise a robust simulation tool for Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) problems. By maintaining Hamiltonian symmetry increased...
