Damage Mechanics Approaches for Sharp and Diffuse Fracture Propagation: Application to Ice Sheet Fracture and Composite Delamination
Damage mechanics approaches are developed for the numerical modeling of fracture evolution along sharp (i.e., zero-thickness) and diffuse (i.e., finite-thickness) interfaces and applied to investigate ice sheet fracture and fatigue delamination of composites. Throughout this work, three computationa...
