Abstract

Computational Mechanics has many applications in engineering. Its range of application has been enlarged widely in the last decades. Still new developments are made to which a new discretization scheme belongs: the virtual element method (VEM). Despite being only few years under development the application range of VEM in engineering includes formulations for linear and nonlinear material responses. In this paper the focus is on fracture mechanics. Especially the treatment of crack propagation will be discussed where VEM has some advantages.
