Extended numerical manifold method for engineering failure analysis

In this thesis, the numerical manifold method (NMM) has been extended for engineering failure analysis. The NMM has been coupled with the fracture mechanics to simulate the complex cracks and their growth. A new concept ‘singular physical cover’ is introduced. Asymptotic crack tip functions extracte...
