A finite element method for crack growth without remeshing

TL;DR: In this article, a displacement-based approximation is enriched near a crack by incorporating both discontinuous elds and the near tip asymptotic elds through a partition of unity method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended finite element method for cohesive crack growth

TL;DR: In this article, an extended finite element method is applied to modeling growth of arbitrary cohesive cracks, which is governed by requiring the stress intensity factors at the tip of the cohesive zone to vanish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended finite element method for three-dimensional crack modelling

TL;DR: In this article, an extended finite element method (X-FEM) for three-dimensional crack modeling is described, where a discontinuous function and two-dimensional asymptotic crack-tip displacement fields are added to the finite element approximation to account for the crack using the notion of partition of unity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling holes and inclusions by level sets in the extended finite-element method

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to model arbitrary holes and material interfaces (inclusions) without meshing the internal boundaries is proposed, which couples the level set method with the extended finite element method (X-FEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Arbitrary discontinuities in finite elements

TL;DR: In this article, a technique for modeling arbitrary discontinuities in finite elements is presented, in which both the signed distance function and its derivatives are considered, and a standard displacement Galerkin method is used for developing the discrete equations.
