In the present work, a comparative analysis has been presented between linear elastic and elasto-plastic fracture modelling of ductile structures using extended finite element method (XFEM). Three different fracture models ...

In this paper, the crack growth simulations are performed using extended finite element method (XFEM) on bulk, 40% and 70% room temperature rolled (RTR) 6351 Al-alloy. The properties obtained through experimentation are ...

Bone fracture is a severe health concern; therefore, understanding the causes of bone fracture are crucial. This paper investigates the microstructure and fracture behaviour of cadaveric cortical bone of two different ...

In this paper, a new enrichment scheme is employed in conjunction with XFEM for the stable crack growth analysis in ductile materials. In the proposed enrichment scheme, only Heaviside enrichment function is used with the ...
