Scaling of Fracture Strength in Disordered Quasi-Brittle Materials
Phani Kumar V. V. Nukala, Srdjan Simunovic
This paper presents two main results. The first result indicates that in materials with broadly distributed microscopic heterogeneities, the fracture strength distribution correspo…
An Efficient Block Circulant Preconditioner For Simulating Fracture Using Large Fuse Networks
Phani Kumar V. V. Nukala, Srdjan Simunovic
{\it Critical slowing down} associated with the iterative solvers close to the critical point often hinders large-scale numerical simulation of fracture using discrete lattice netw…
An Efficient Algorithm For Simulating Fracture Using Large Fuse Networks
Phani Kumar V. V. Nukala, Srdjan Simunovic
The high computational cost involved in modeling of the progressive fracture simulations using large discrete lattice networks stems from the requirement to solve {\it a new large…
