-(iv) The element delition technique in Abaqus is used to visualise crack paths.  Fracture propagation is assumed to consists of a continuing process of crack initiations with the evolving amount of constraint. For a proper formulation of the post-failure behaviour of elaments, the concept of the material softening is introduced. Such a formulation reduces the mesh size effect and accounts for the mechanics of the process zone near the crack tip.
