About this document
Fracture Modeling on Growing Surfaces by Christopher Paul is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis presents a framework for modeling fracture formation on growing surfaces, specifically focusing on drying mud and tree bark. It discusses two approaches: a mass-spring model, which has limitations, and a more effective finite element method that incorporates growth dynamics and enhances simulation accuracy. The work includes various techniques for improving efficiency and quality in fracture modeling, such as adaptive mesh refinement and local multi-resolution meshes.
