Abstract：The finite element method based on DSC is introduced. The governing equations of the relative intact state and full-adjusted state and the equations of FEM are established. The solution schemes of the equations are given. The strain average method, the convergence and uniqueness of the finite element methods based on DSC are explained. The DSC model can allow well-posedness for localization and can avoid spurious mesh dependence. The laboratory test verifies the simulated results of the computational procedures. A number of research results show that the FEM based on DSC possess an altitude advantage over the classic computational procedures.
