A mixed XFEM and CZM approach for predicting progressive failure in advanced SiC/SiC CMC component

This research work focused on simulating different fracture modes in the high-stress concentrated region of an advanced SiC/SiC CMC component at the macroscopic scale in consideration of increasing cost and time during experimental tests of CMCs. A hybrid of extended-finite-element-method (XFEM) and...
