✦ Synopsis

This paper investigates robustness and efficiency of a method for the numerical simulation of fatigue driven delamination growth in laminated composites. The method is based on the fatigue degradation of a bilinear interface element and the paper studies the dependence of the predicted behaviour on the interface element size, Ál, and the number of cycles per increment, ÁN. It is concluded that the value of ÁN must be small enough to ensure that at least two increments are required to advance the crack by Ál. It is also shown that Ál must be sufficiently small so that at least two interface elements lie in the cohesive zone ahead of the crack tip. The paper also proposes extensions of the model to include a non-zero minimum cyclic load value and an improved algorithm for mixed-mode fatigue driven delamination growth.

The goal of this article is to apply the mortar finite element method to the numerical simulation of (electromagnetic and/or acoustic) waves propagating in an inhomogeneous support. This approach allows us to use meshes well adapted to the local physical parameters of the media without any conformit

## Abstract The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of filler content on the bending properties of dental composites by use of the finite‐element method (FEM). The proposed numerical model was constructed from isotropic shell elements representing silica filler, and isotropic beam
