A method for modelling the growth of multiple cracks in linear elastic media is presented.
Both homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials are considered. The method uses the …

This book is an outgrowth of my involvement in two groups of research in solid mechanics,
created in 1960 for the French nuclear energy program. At this time, it was decided that …

This paper addresses stability and bifurcation analysis for common systems of solids in the
framework of plasticity, of friction and of fracture mechanics. Although physically different …

We present a multiple scale approach for modeling multiple crack growth in human cortical
bone under tension. The Haversian microstructure, a four phase composite, is discretized by …

In this paper, an automated adaptive remeshing procedure is presented for simulation of
arbitrary shape crack growth in multiple cracked bodies. The Zienkiewicz–Zhu error …

We present a multiple scale method for modeling multiple crack growth in cortical bone
under tension. The four phase composite Haversian microstructure is discretized by a Finite …

Prediction of surface cracking in ceramics due to quenching is performed numerically using
either the coupled criterion or a cohesive zone model. Under such a thermal shock, a …

A global thermodynamic analysis of the running crack problem is presented. The crack is
modeled as an evolving partially cohesive interface endowed with a thermodynamic …

In this paper we consider elasticity equations in a domain having a cut (a crack) with
unilateral boundary conditions considered at the crack faces. The boundary conditions …

In this paper we consider the elasticity equations in nonsmooth domains in R n, n= 2, 3. The
domains have a crack whose length may change. At the crack faces, inequality type …
