Powell–Sabin B-splines for smeared and discrete approaches to fracture in quasi-brittle materials
Abstract Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS) and T-splines can have some drawbacks when modelling damage and fracture. The use of Powell–Sabin B-splines, which are based on triangles, can by-pass these drawbacks. Herein, smeared as well as...
