Crack Extension Calculation under Tensile and Shear Load by XFEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

The extended finite element method (XFEM) is a numerical method for modeling discontinuity such as cracks, holes, inclusions etc within a standard finite element framework. In the XFEM, special functions which can reflect the problem’s solution characteristics are added to the finite element approximation using the framework of partition of unity. Compared with the standard finite element method, it obtained more accuracy without remeshing. In this paper, we studied crack propagation behavior under different proportions of tension and shear loads by XFEM.
