This paper provides a detailed review of the global/local non-intrusive coupling algorithm.
Such method allows to alter a global finite element model, without actually modifying its …

A phase-field approach was used in order to model the complex mechanisms of fatigue
crack nucleation and growth. This popular method enables a flexible framework that …

This paper outlines a rigorous variational-based multilevel Global–Local formulation for
ductile fracture. Here, a phase-field formulation is used to resolve failure mechanisms by …

In this work, a simple and efficient approach based on extended finite element method
(XFEM) has been presented to simulate three-dimensional fatigue crack growth simulations …

In this work, a homogenized XFEM approach has been proposed to evaluate the fatigue life
of an edge crack plate in the presence of discontinuities (holes, inclusions and minor …

An extended finite element method (XFEM) for three dimensional (3D) non-planar linear
elastic fracture is introduced, which provides optimal convergence through the use of …

This paper aims at investigating the adoption of non-intrusive global/local approaches while
modeling fracture by means of the phase-field framework. A successful extension of the non …

Abstract The use of Finite Element meshes in Digital Image Correlation (FE-DIC) is now
widespread in experimental mechanics but, so far, FE have been much less used in Stereo …

This paper presents a novel numerical framework based on the generalized finite element
method with global–local enrichments (GFEMgl) for two‐scale simulations of propagating …

Stereocorrelation (SC) is a powerful tool for measuring 3D surface deformations in
mechanical tests. However, it may suffer from convergence issues for large displacements or …
