Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.

Crack-path field and strain-injection techniques in computational modeling of propagating material failure

TL;DR: In this article, two numerical techniques for modeling propagating material failure, i.e., cracks in fracture mechanics or slip-lines in soil mechanics, were devised for identification of the path of those cracks, or sliplines, represented by strain-localization based solutions of the material failure problem.

Numerical simulation with experimental verification of the fracture behavior in granite under confining pressures based on the tension-softening model

TL;DR: In this article, the use of the tension-softening model for analyzing fracture processes of rock is examined with special reference to the effect of confining pressure on the fracture extension.

Simulation of toppling failure of rock slope by numerical manifold method

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used numerical manifold method (NMM) to model the toppling failure of rock slopes, and several case studies were conducted to testify the accuracy and convergence of method; comparisons with method, based on limit equilibrium principle, which was proposed by Goodman and Bray (G-B method) and centrifuge test are conducted.

Triaxiality dependent cohesive zone model

TL;DR: In this article, a versatile cohesive zone model was proposed to predict ductile fracture at different states of stresses by using basic elastic-plastic constitutive relations combined with two stress-state independent new model parameters.
