Abstract
In this work, we present numerical simulations of the quasi static crack propagation based on the variational approach. An alternate minimizations algorithm is used. Based on these numerical results, we show the importance of trying to optimize the time of numerical computation and we present the first attempt to develop a simple numerical method to optimize this time.
