The strain‐based implementation method for the extended peridynamic model (XPDM)
resolves the limitation of standard models where only a fixed Poisson's ratio can be …

A numerical model based on moving mesh strategy is proposed to simulate the evolution of
internal material discontinuities in a continuum medium. The approach combines concepts …

A numerical model to predict crack propagation phenomena in sandwich structures is
proposed. The model incorporates shear deformable beams to simulate high performance …

This paper considers the applicability of virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) for
calculation of stress intensity factor range for crack propagation in standard metal specimen …

The paper presents the influence of in-plane constraints defined by T-stress on the behavior
of a crack subjected to cyclic loading. In the analysis, a modified boundary layer model …

We present a novel method to model large deformation fluid‐structure‐fracture interaction,
which is characterized by the fact that the fluid‐induced loads lead to fracture of the structure …

Fracture mechanics is the field of study focused on characterizing the behavior of cracks in
fracture structures which is the behavior is dependent on material, load–displacement and …
