Automated dynamic fracture procedure for explicit time integration brick finite elements

An elastodynamic fracture model has been implemented in the explicit finite element software DYNA3D that predicts energy release rates of stationary, through-thickness, 3-D cracks in linearly elastic materials. This work is part of an on-going effort to investigate implementation of automated fractu...
