Abstract
We develop a novel fracture mechanics framework for cracked thin-walled structures based on the Mindlin-Reissner plate theory. The mixed interpolation of tensorial components (MITC) plate element within the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used for the discretization. High-order crack-tip enrichment functions are employed to resolve the linear elastic near field solutions and the stress intensity factors (SIFs) are extracted by using an...
