Abstract
The principle of the structure of displacement function, the establishment of governing equations, level set method were briefly outlined in this paper. Numerical simulations on three dimensional single edge notched specimens with different crack length in tension were performed using Abaqus software based on extended finite element method (XFEM), the stress intensity factor at static crack front was analyzed and the simulated results were in good agreement with analytical solutions. Numerical simulations in the present paper indicated that the extended finite element method is very suitable to deal with nonlinear fracture problems.
