An Integration Scheme of Extended Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple integration scheme is presented for numerical integration in the extended finite element method(XFEM). In this scheme, the integral domain of common triangular mesh is converted to that of standard triangular mesh and the integral domain of standard triangular mesh is converted to that of quadrilateral mesh. By this transformation of integral domain, the strength intensity factors for straight crack are worked out. Finally, the accuracy of this method is analyzed by a typical example. It is concluded that the results obtained by new integral scheme are more accurate and simple than common Gaussian integration scheme.
