Abstract
An approach for the topological representation of simplicial finite element meshes as graphs is presented. It is shown that by using a graph, the topological changes induced by fracture reduce to a few, local kernel operations. The performance of the graph representation is demonstrated and analyzed, using as reference the three-dimensional fracture algorithm by Pandolfi and Ortiz (Eng. Comput. 1998; 14(4):287–308). It is shown that the graph representation initializes in O(N^(1.1)_E) time and fractures in O(N^(1.0)_I) time, while the reference implementation requires O(N^(2.1)_E) time to initialize and O(N^(1.9)_I) time to fracture, where N_E is the number of elements in the mesh and N_I is the number of interfaces to fracture.
