Abstract
In this paper, we study fatigue failure using the variational multiscale method (VMM). In the VMM, displacement jumps are represented using finite elements with specially constructed discontinuous shape functions. These elements are progressively added along the crack path during fatigue failure. The stiffness of these elements changes non-linearly in response to the accumulation of damage during cyclic loading. The evolution law for stiffness...
