Existing approaches for collapse modeling<br />
Applied Element Method (AEM)<br />
� Elements are connected through nonlinear springs<br />
� AEM: modeling crack initiation, propagation, fracture<br />
� Meguro (2003), Meguro and Tegel-din (2006)<br />
� Challenging to model ductile materials: e.g. Poisson’s ratio effect<br />
