Triangular element partition method with consideration of crack tip

In fracture simulation, how to model the pre-existing cracks and simulate their propagation without remeshing is an important topic. The newly developed triangular element partition method (TEPM) provides an efficient approach to this problem. It firstly meshes the cracked body regardless of the geometry integrity of the interesting object with triangular elements. After the meshing procedure is completed, some elements are intersected by...
