Journal ArticleDOI
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
Nicolas Moës,Ted Belytschko +1 more
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.
