We propose a novel and efficient computational scheme for capturing the multiplicity of solutions that may exist at any loading step of a quasibrittle fracture analysis formulated as a linear complementarity problem (LCP). The algorithm proposed is based on successively augmenting the current LCP by

To avoid the well-known drawbacks of the classical continuum damage theory when localization occurs, an isotropic gradient-enchanced damage model is proposed in which the loading function not only depends on the damage value, but also on its Laplacian. The initial boundary value problem obtained ado
Plane theory of elasticity lays a foundation for many important results in science and engineering. However, the understanding of the elastic solutions derived under plane stress or plane strain assumption, is far from complete. In particular, it is not clear how adequate the classical two-dimension
