The numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth using extended finite element method (2012, methodology): “Till date, XFEMhas extensively used to solve the problems of fracture mechanics including crack growth with frictional contact [17], cohesive crack propagation [18–21], quasi-static crack growth [22], arbitrary branched and intersecting cracks [23], and cracks in shells [24], fatigue crack propagati”
A simple method for crack growth in mixed mode with X-FEM (2012, background): “In Comi and Mariani (2007), de Borst et al. (2006), Mariani and Perego (2003), Unger et al. (2007), a simple discretization of the 1d crack with linear segment is made.”
Cohesive and non‐cohesive fracture by higher‐order enrichment of XFEM (2012, methodology): “For traction-free cracks, the SIFs can be conveniently used for both purposes [29], but for a cohesive crack, the use of the SIFs excludes the effect of cohesive forces on the crack growth direction and therefore is limited to mode I dominated cohesive cracks [30].”
A review of extended/generalized finite element methods for material modeling (2009, unknown): “Applications of cohesive crack modeling in functionally graded materials have been presented by Comi and Mariani [26] and in concrete by Unger et al. [104].”
