A Hybrid Finite Volume and Extended Finite Element Method for Hydraulic Fracturing with Cohesive Crack Propagation in Quasi-Brittle Materials

A Hybrid Finite Volume and Extended Finite Element Method for Hydraulic Fracturing with Cohesive Crack Propagation in Quasi-Brittle Materials

High-pressure hydraulic fractures are often reported in real engineering applications, which occur due to the existence of discontinuities such as cracks, faults, or shear bands. In this paper, a hybrid finite volume and extended finite element method (FVM-XFEM) is developed for simulating hydro-fra...
