Abstract
An efficient explicit finite element scheme to deal with a class of coupled fluidsolid problems is presented. The main ingredients of such a methodology are: simple shell elements; an algorithm to deal with material failure and cracking propagation; and a chunk rigidization methodology to avoid the possible numerical instabilities that may be produced by pieces of material flying away from the main solid body. The overall CSD scheme is coupled with a flow code by using an embedded methodology. Two real cases are presented.
