Propagation of cohesive crack in unsaturated porous media by use of XFEM method

Various damage models have been presented to model the cracks. These models don’t simulate the discontinuity in displacement field; just see its effect on an upper level on stress field through damage parameter. Damage parameter is used to modify other fields like pressure. This paper tries to model...
