A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

The meshfree methods in computational mechanics have been actively proposed and
increasingly developed in order to overcome some drawbacks in the conventional numerical …

Accurate numerical modeling of multifield piezoelectric materials is challenging because of
the inherent electro-mechanical coupling effect and material anisotropic behaviors. The …

In response to the problem that the standard AT2 phase field model cannot effectively model
quasi-brittle failure and the existence of length dependence, a new modified phase field …

This paper is devoted to a state-of-the-art review on extended Isogeometric Analysis (XIGA)
for computational fracture mechanics. The basic knowledge and formulations of the recently …

A numerical study of thermal-mechanical crack growth in orthotropic composite materials by
the recently developed extended nodal gradient finite element method is presented. The …

The aim of this paper is to study the T-stress and its effect on crack propagation in FGM
materials with adiabatic cracks subjected to thermo-mechanical loading based on the J …

Composite materials fail under extreme working conditions, particularly at high temperature,
due to delamination (separation of fibers from matrix). And therefore it is needed to switch …

In this paper, we present an effective computational approach that combines an adaptive
extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) method with locally refined (LR) B-splines and level …

In this work, the extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) is presented for the analysis of
cracks in elastic material subjected to thermal, mechanical, and thermo-mechanical loading …
