Numerical construction of piecewise virtual fields

This chapter discusses the numerical issues in construction of piecewise virtual fields over a specimen. The improvement and advantages over the use of single virtual element has been examined. Such a piecewise construction has been successfully used to characterize a thin composite plate in bending...
