Abstract
A novel local mesh refinement approach for fracture analysis of three-dimensional (3-D) linear elastic solids is developed, considering both 3-D straight and curved planar cracks. The present local mesh refinement formulation is a combination of the extended finite element method (XFEM), variable-node hexahedron elements, and a posteriori error indicator. Our 3-D formulation using hexahedron elements rigorously embraces a posteriori error...
