Finite Elements in Fracture Mechanics Theory - Numerics - Applications

Finite Elements in Fracture Mechanics Theory - Numerics - Applications / by Meinhard Kuna.

Fracture mechanics has established itself as an important discipline of growing interest to those working to assess the safety, reliability and service life of engineering structures and materials. In order to calculate the loading situation at cracks and defects, nowadays numerical techniques like...
