Abstract: The virtual crack closure technique makes use of the forces ahead of the crack tip and the displacement jumps on the crack faces directly behind the crack tip to obtain the energy release rates $${{\mathcal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cma.2020.113318
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), commonly used in the numerical finite element method (FEM), is for the first time reformulated in nonlocal peridynamic theory, and a new peridynamics-based virtual crack… read more here.
