An overview of computational methods to model fracture in brittle and quasi‐brittle materials
is given. The overview focuses on continuum models for fracture. First, numerical difficulties …

The displacement discontinuity method (DDM) developed by Crouch (Int J Numer Methods
Eng 10: 301–343, 1976) is a popular form of the boundary element method and is widely …

This paper reviews crack tip asymptotic fields in generic plane anisotropic media, rigorously
categorising about 400 studies devoted to the determination of the asymptote coefficients …

Numerical modeling of gas hydrates can provide an integrated understanding of the various
process mechanisms controlling methane (CH 4) production from hydrates and carbon …

Dynamic Green's function plays an important role in the study of various wave radiation,
scattering and soil-structure interaction problems. However, little research has been done on …

In this paper, three-dimensional Green's functions for anisotropic bimaterials are studied
based on Stroh formalism and two-dimensional Fourier transforms. Although the Green's …

This introductory and self-contained book gathers as much explicit mathematical results on
the linear-elastic and heat-conduction solutions in the neighborhood of singular points in …

This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of fracture mechanics parameters
for cracked orthotropic composite structures by using an efficient computational approach …

Isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) based on Bézier extraction of non-
uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) is developed to analyze the crack propagation and the …

In the present paper a fast solver for dual boundary element analysis of 3D anisotropic crack
problems is formulated, implemented and tested. The fast solver is based on the use of …
