This research program addresses the prevalent issues of failure                 computation with particular emphasis on material nonlinearities.  The           main focus will be on moving discontinuities either as localized shear          bands or as macroscopic fractures.  Three primary areas are:                                                                                                         Development of "Moving Grid Techniques" to trace the formation of               discontinuities that emerge from material failure,                                                                                                              Formulation and incorporation of on-line "Interactive Graphics",                                                                                                Computational simulation of mesomechanical failure (progressive                 damage of internal material structure), macroscopic fracture                    (cracking of a full-scale prototype).                                                                                                                      Reliable failure predictions are among the most pressing issues                 related to accurate safety prediction of new and existing structures.           In fact, questions such as maximum collapse load and the underlying             failure mechanism require robust algorithm to predict.  This research           project will develop the necessary algorithm to resolve the failure             mechanism(s) and at the same time follow the collapse of the                    structure.
