This important textbook provides an introduction to the concepts of
the newly developed extended finite element method (XFEM) for
fracture analysis of structures, as well as for other related
engineering applications.
One of the main advantages of the method is that it avoids any
need for remeshing or geometric crack modelling in numerical
simulation, while generating discontinuous fields along a crack and
around its tip. The second major advantage of the method is that by
a small increase in number of degrees of freedom, far more accurate
solutions can be obtained. The method has recently been extended to
nonlinear materials and other disciplines such as modelling contact
and interface, simulation of inclusions and holes, moving and
changing phase problems, and even to multiscale analyses.
The book is self contained, with summaries of both classical and
modern computational techniques. The main chapters include a
comprehensive range of numerical examples describing various
features of XFEM.
