FractureSim?

FractureSim? is a fracture simulator developed as part of a master's thesis. The simulation model is based on: 1. The Total Lagrangian Explicit Dymanics (TLED) finite element method formulation drives the physics simulation and stress-strain calculations, 2. Crack detection is done based on the maximum principle stress, calculated by solving the eigenproblem, and 3. Crack initialization and propagation is implemented based on a local crack tracking scheme.

The fracture simulator executes at interactive frame rates making it possible to interact with the simulated objects in real-time.
