  43. Summary A robust approach to determining multiple crack growth directions based on the principle of minimum energy Limitations undermining the max. hoop-stress criterion, e.g. traction free cracks, absence of body loads etc., are overcome The energy minimization approach is characterized by mode-1 dominance at the end of each time-step (i.e. on convergence) The criteria lead to fracture paths that are, in the global sense, in very close agreement - virtue of self-similar crack growth Better accuracy and faster convergence of the fracture path can be obtained by taking a bi-section of the interval that is bounded by the respective criteria.
