Finite strain fracture of 2D problems with injected anisotropic softening elements

In the context of plane fracture problems, we introduce an algorithm based on our previously proposed rotation of edges but now including the injection of continuum softening elements directly in the process region. This is an extension of the classical smeared (or regularized) approach to fracture...
