This repository contains the LaTeX source files of my PhD thesis entitled "Gradient-Damage Modeling of Dynamic Brittle Fracture: Variational Principles and Numerical Simulations".
The official archived version is available at http://www.theses.fr/2016SACLX042.
You can download here all the figures used in this thesis. Please put the figs folder in the current thesis workspace, namely inside the thesis-manuscript folder.
Many shematic figures are created proudly by the ipe software and its matplotlib backend available at https://github.com/otfried/ipe-tools. I would like to express my deep love to ipe.
The simplest way is to use the latexmk script available in all latest TeXLive distributions. You only need to compile the main LaTeX file:
latexmk -pdf main.tex
It should include all the chapter TeX files in the chapters folder and automatically call several times pdflatex and biber to obtain the final main.pdf file.
