Extended Finite Element Methods for Brittle and Cohesive Fracture
The safety of engineering structures depends heavily on the presence of cracks, which may propagate and lead eventually to structural failure. This dissertation aims to advance the computational modeling of fracture, within the context of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and cohesive zone mo...
