Stefan Problem through Extended Finite Elements: Review and Further Investigations
A general review of the extended finite element method and its application to the simulation of first-order phase transitions is provided. Detailed numerical investigations are then performed by focusing on the one-dimensional case and studying: (i ...

Modelling localised fracture of reinforced concrete structures [PDF]
This paper presents a robust finite element procedure for simulating the localised fracture of reinforced concrete members. In this new model the concrete member is modelled as an assembly of plain concrete, reinforcing steel bar and bond-link elements ...

The ALE-method with triangular elements: direct convection of integration point values [PDF]
The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element method is applied to the simulation of forming processes where material is highly deformed. Here, the split formulation is used: a Lagrangian step is done with an implicit finite element formulation,

X-SFEM, a computational technique based on X-FEM to deal with random shapes [PDF]
International audienceWe propose a new method to deal with random geometries. It is an extension to the stochastic context of the eXtended Finite Element Method. This method lies on two majors points: the implicit description of geometry by the level set

ANALYSIS THE FORMULA OF STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS FOR THE COMPACT TENSION SHEAR TEST
The Compact Tension Shear( CTS) specimen proposed by Richard is a commonly test type used in mixed ModeI/II loading. The formula of stress intensity factors( SIFs) for the CTS test has already given by relevant literature.
