A study of localized failure modes in brittle materials
Localization studies arise from the need to accurately model the behaviour of materials which exhibit instabilities due to strain softening or geometric effects. Localization in finite element modelling of brittle materials such as concrete and rock is a relatively unexplored area in computational m...
