Two-Dimensional Computer Modeling of Joints and Fractures in Continua

Two-Dimensional Computer Modeling of Joints and Fractures in Continua

This thesis presents a numerical formulation which incorporates the effects of joints, cracks, and fractures into a mathematical mode used to in an existing finite element code. Two separate crack definitions were incorporated, one involving a discrete crack model, and the other a continuum approach...
