AB  - It is well known that without a proper regularization scheme the finite element analysis of softening materials leads to mesh dependent response. The results of the analysis should be as less as possible dependent on the choice of the finite element type and on the finite element discretization. In the present article the mesh sensitivity study of the compact tension specimen loaded under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions is carried out. It is shown that relatively simple regularization scheme based on the element size independent energy dissipation (crack band method) leads to mesh insensitive results. In the analysis the constitutive…
