Simulation of crack propagation using isogeometric analysis applied with NURBS and LR B-splines

This report features the isogeometric finite element method applied to the elastodynamic problem in a brittle medium with a potential for cracking. Griffith's theory for fracturing is used. The development of the model is outlined, complete with the Euler-Lagrange equations. The cracking is des...
