Element-wise fracture algorithm based on rotation of edges

We propose an alternative, simpler algorithm for FEM-based computational fracture in brittle, quasi-brittle and ductile materials based on edge rotations. Rotation axes are the crack front edges (respectively nodes in surface discretizations) and each rotated edge affects the position of only one or...
