Global cracking elements: A novel tool for Galerkin‐based approaches simulating quasi‐brittle fracture

Summary Following the so‐called cracking elements method (CEM), we propose a novel Galerkin‐based numerical approach for simulating quasi‐brittle fracture, named global cracking elements method (GCEM). For this purpose the formulation of the original CEM is reorganized. The new approach is embedded...
