This paper proposes a stable generalized finite element method (SGFEM) for the linear 3D
elasticity problem with cracked domains. Conventional material-independent branch …

In this paper, the quadratic Stable Generalized Finite Element Method (SGFEM) proposed in
Sanchez-Rivadeneira and Duarte (2019) is extended to 3-D fracture problems with non …

This work presents a combined formulation for the fracture model of carbon/aramid fiber
reinforced plastic woven laminates (CARPWLs). The structural crack is implemented based …

Abstract The Hierarchical Interface-enriched Finite Element Method (HIFEM) is a technique
for solving problems containing discontinuities in the field gradient using finite element …

An immersed enriched finite element method is proposed for the analysis of phononic
crystals (PnCs) with finite element (FE) meshes that are completely decoupled from …

This paper proposes a first-order Generalized/eXtended Finite Element Method (G/XFEM)
for 2-D and 3-D linear elastic fracture mechanics problems. The conditioning of the method …

Generating matching meshes for finite element analysis is not always a convenient choice,
for instance, in cases where the location of the boundary is not known a priori or when the …

During design optimization, a smooth description of the geometry is important, especially for
problems that are sensitive to the way interfaces are resolved, eg, wave propagation or fluid …

Smoothed finite element method with the node‐based strain smoothing domains (NS‐FEM)
is remarkable for the upper‐bound feature and insensitivity to the volumetric locking. As a …

The extended/generalized finite element method has proven significant efficiency for
handling crack propagation and internal boundaries. In certain conditions, however, one of …
