An efficient augmented finite element method for arbitrary cracking and crack interaction in solids (2014, methodology): “We take a common approach that assumes (1) during crack growth, a crack tip always resides at an element boundary during its propagation as in the phantom node method and the alike [23, 26, 27, 52], and (2) the existence of a cohesive zone eliminates the crack-tip singularity [12, 53–56].”
