A well‐conditioned and optimally convergent XFEM for 3D linear elastic fracture

K Agathos, E Chatzi, S Bordas… - International Journal for …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Summary A variation of the extended finite element method for three-dimensional fracture
mechanics is proposed. It utilizes a novel form of enrichment and point-wise and integral
matching of displacements of the standard and enriched elements in order to achieve ...

 

[PDF] XFEM with global enrichment for 3D cracks

K Agathos, E Chatzi, S Bordas, D Talaslidis - 2015 - orbiluuni.porwait.com
Abstract:[en] We present an extended finite element method (XFEM) based on fixed area
enrichment which 1) suppresses the difficulties associated with ill-conditioning, even for"
large" enrichment radii; 2) requires 50 times fewer enriched degrees of freedom (for a ...

[CITATION] Stable 3D extended finite elements with higher order enrichment for accurate non planar fracture

K Agathos, E Chatzi, S Bordas - Computer Methods in Applied …, 2015 - orbilu.uni.lu
Abstract We present an extended finite element method (XFEM) for 3D non-planar linear
elastic fracture. The new approach not only provides optimal convergence using geometrical
enrichment but also enables to contain the increase in conditioning number characteristic ...

Isogeometric boundary element methods for three dimensional fatigue crack growth

X Peng, E Atroshchenko, P Kerfriden, S Bordas - 2015 - orbilu.uni.lu

Abstract:[en] The isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) based on NURBS is
adopted to model fracture problem in 3D. The NURBS basis functions are used in both crack
