Modeling of dynamic fracture problems using AL finite element formulation

The problem of dynamic crack propagation is widely addressed in the literature. The few available analytical solutions are limited to simple and idealized geometries and loading conditions. On the other hand, major approximations and inconsistent assumptions exist in published numerical models....
