Generalized finite element methods for three-dimensional crack growth simulations
Three-dimensional (3-D) crack growth analysis is crucial for the assessment of structures such as aircrafts, rockets, engines and pressure vessels, which are subjected to extreme loading conditions. The analysis of 3-D arbitrary crack growth using the standard Finite Element Method (FEM) encounters …

A Mesh Objective Algorithm for Modeling Mode-I Cracks Using a Standard Finite Element Formulation
A computationally efficient mesh objective algorithm for modeling mode-I cracks is developed and implemented within a standard finite element formulation. The algorithm applies the crack opening displacements across the standard nodal degrees of freedom that is consistent with formalism of the …
