The adaptive process is controlled with the principal strains and principal strain directions and uses the finite elements method. Numerical results are presented for several test cases. %K grid adaptation %K principal strains %K finite elements method %U http://bulletin.incas.ro/files/frunzulica_florin_v3_is3_full.pdf
