In this paper, the dual boundary element method is extended to include the non-linear behaviour of cracking in concrete. The fictitious crack model is used to simulate the pure mode I and mixed mode crack propagation in concrete. The fictitious crack in the fracture zone in front of the real crack t

In this paper, the seismic response of concrete gravity dams is presented using the concept of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) and adopting the hybrid Finite Element-Boundary Element technique (FE-BE). The finite element method is used for discretization of the near field and the boundary element m
models for the efficient simulation of discrete crack closure, and fracture mechanics based model for crack propagation, both under transient dynamic conditions, are developed. Following simple validation problems, those two models are integrated into an interactive graphics program which was used t
In the past the time domain solution of the wave equation has been limited to simplified problems. This was due to the limitations of analytical methods and the capacity of computers to manipulate and store 'large' blocks of spatial information. With the advent of 'super computers' the ability to so
