Abstract
In the paper a number of computational issues related
to the continuum modelling of dynamic failure
will be addressed. Attention is focused on the influence
of the crack concept. A comparison is made between
the standard, the rate-dependent and the
gradient-dependent crack concept. The effect of the
inclusion of an internal length scale for the latter
two models and its influence on the failure mechanism
is discussed. The computational analysis of a
reinforced beam under impact loading is treated as
an example.
