The optimal XFEM approximation for fracture analysis [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2010
The extended finite element method (XFEM) provides an effective tool for analyzing fracture mechanics problems. A XFEM approximation consists of standard finite elements which are used in the major part of the domain and enriched elements in the enriched sub-domain for capturing special solution properties such as discontinuities and singularities ...

Design and Development of an Accessible Clip Gauge Extensometer for CMOD Measurement in Fracture Mechanics

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
A low‐cost clip gauge extensometer for crack mouth opening displacement was developed from accessible procedures and materials. Accuracy and repeatability comparable to commercial devices were demonstrated in calibration and fracture tests, enabling reliable measurement in CT specimens for resource‐constrained laboratories.

A Probabilistic Cut Finite Element Method With Random Field Generator and Bayesian Model Calibration for Flow Through Rough Cracks

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 298-320, January 2026.
ABSTRACT A new model for the simulation of fluid flow through rough cracks is presented. The model combines a probabilistic cut finite element method (PCutFEM) to capture the unfitted boundary condition at the fluid interface, with a stochastic random field generator to represent the crack asperities.

Validation and Investigation of a Multiaxial Progressive Damage Model Through Glass Fiber Reinforced Tube Specimen Under Fatigue Loading

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 84-101, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In the field of composite structure fatigue simulations, progressive damage models are common tools. However, these models are dependent on the definition of meta parameters, such as the residual stiffness following an interfiber failure mode. This study presents a progressive damage model utilizing shell elements, with the material parameters

Including Pre‐Existing Fractures in Phase Field Fracture Models

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 23, 15 December 2025.
ABSTRACT The phase field method for fracture modelling has, in recent years, become the method of choice for complex fracture problems, especially those involving branching, merging, or nucleating fractures. As the number of applications of the phase field method has expanded, the importance of assessing its accuracy has increased. One important factor
