A mesh-independent framework for crack tracking in elastodamaging materials through the regularized extended finite element method
Keyword(s):
AbstractWe propose a formulation for tracking general crack paths in elastodamaging materials without mesh adaptivity and broadening of the damage band. The idea is to treat in a unified way both the damaging process and the development of displacement discontinuities by means of the regularized finite element method. With respect to previous authors’ contributions, a novel damage evolution law and an original crack tracking framework are proposed. We face the issue of mesh objectivity through several two-dimensional tests, obtaining smooth crack paths and reliable structural results.
