Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A variational framework for crack growth based on potential energy minimization. • Integration of the PEMA strategy within the Dual Boundary Element Method. • Energy functional evaluation is performed strictly using boundary quantities. • Stable trajectory tracking for interacting cracks and stress concentrators. • High-fidelity results validated against MTS criterion and experimental data.
