Meshless or meshfree methods (MMs) are practical and excellent numerical techniques for
solving crack problems. With the inherent limitations of mesh-based methods such as the …

Extracting gas from shale rocks is one of the current engineering challenges but offers the
prospect of cheap gas. Part of the development of an effective engineering solution for shale …

This article applies the finite element over-deterministic (FEOD) method to determine the
coefficients of the crack tip asymptotic fields in an anisotropic plane. This method relies on …

In this work, a higher-order XFEM approach is presented and implemented to analyze free
flexural vibration in cracked composite laminated plate using higher-order shear …

A phase field model for anisotropic, elastoplastic fracture model in layered structures
obtained by 3D printing processes is proposed. An extension of anisotropic phase field to …

This paper discusses the thermal fracture analysis of anisotropic materials under thermal
shock based on the classic theory of thermoelasticity in the framework of the Extended Finite …

In this paper, we replace the asymptotic enrichments around the crack tip in the extended
finite element method (XFEM) with the semi‐analytical solution obtained by the scaled …

This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of fracture mechanics parameters
for cracked orthotropic composite structures by using an efficient computational approach …

The recently developed local enriched consecutive-interpolation 4-node quadrilateral
element (XCQ4) is extended to study transient dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) for …

This paper reviews crack tip asymptotic fields in generic plane anisotropic media, rigorously
categorising about 400 studies devoted to the determination of the asymptote coefficients …
