Summary:Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).Crack growth is a complex phenomenon and difficult to model without assumed simplifications. In recent years, there has been an increasing realization that advanced computational methods such as the Finite Element Method, the Boundary Element Method and Mesh Free Methods can be used to simulate crack growth in complex structural parts. This special issue contains original papers written by active researchers in the field of computational fracture mechanics. The aim is to inform those in the fracture mechanics community who might not be at the forefront of computational research of the recent developments and techniques available and the wide range of applications for which solutions are now possible. In the field of computational fracture mechanics, three methods have come to the fore in the modeling of crack growth in complex structural parts: finite element (FEM), boundary element (BEM), and meshfree. This volume is designed to inform those working in the field of the latest research in these areas. Aliabaldi (Imperial College London) and Wen (Queen Mary, University of London) edited the invited peer reviewed papers. A keyword and author index is provided and the full text is also available online.
