Abstract

A technique to embed multiple displacement discontinuities and non-uniform discontinuity modes into stress hybrid elements is presented. This technique is an effort to make the stress hybrid elements suitable for fracture mechanics analyses, extending the capabilities of the embedded discontinuity finite elements.
