XFEM for Crack Propagation in Fiber-Reinforced Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article describes the basic format of extended finite element method (XFEM), and simulation the crack propagation of fiber reinforced materials with extended finite element. Explore the number and elastic modulus of fibers influence the crack propagation by changing the elastic modulus and quantity of the fibers in matrix.
