Linear elastic fracture mechanics via the Material Point Method: a phase field approach
Fracture is one of the main failure mechanisms of materials and structural components. During the past thirty years, various methods have been introduced to simulate crack initiation and growth. These include the introduction of Element Deletion Method and re-meshing strategies within the standard F...
