Simulation of the Damage Process in Quasi-Brittle Materials by a Modified Finite Element Method Using the Consistent Embedded Discontinuity Formulation
This paper investigates the variational finite element formulation and its numerical implementation of the damage evolution in solids, using a new discrete embedded discontinuity approach. For this purpose, the kinematically optimal symmetric (KOS) formulation, which guarantees kinematics, is consis...
