Abstract
During the latest 20 years, the extended finite element method (XFEM) has been gradually used to investigate the crack growth behaviors of different materials in combination with various mechanics models and became the most popular computational tool in analyzing crack problems. This paper classifies three typical theoretical frameworks of the XFEM, namely the linear elastic fracture mechanics, the cohesive zone model and the elastic-plastic...
