abstract = "The Finite Element Method (FE) is the analytical workhorse for structural and solid mechanics. As applied to systems with evolving topologies, such as crack initiation and propagation, or fracture in anisotropic media, such as laminated composites, FE has limitations. We present a new method for analysis of laminated composites that address these limitations.",
