Dynamic extended finite element method (XFEM) analysis of discontinuous media

The extended finite element method (XFEM) is found promising in approximating solutions to locally non-smooth features such as jumps, kinks, high gradients, inclusions, or cracks in solid mechanics problems. The XFEM uses the properties of the partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM) to repr...
