Abstract
We present a Matlab object-oriented implementation of an efficient variable-node extended finite element method (XFEM) for multiple crack growth simulation in brittle materials. To enhance the accuracy of the present method, not only the local mesh refinement strategy is used, but also the variable-node elements are adopted to directly link different scale elements, saving the computational cost. In order to efficiently conduct coalescence...
