Implementation of the extended finite element method (XFEM) in the Abaqus software package
This work describes the implementation of the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) in the Abaqus software package. A user-defined element was developed containing the analytical functions relating to homogeneous and interface fracture mechanics. The long-term goal of such work is to increase the ab...
