A field-enriched finite element method for crack propagation in fiber-reinforced composite lamina without remeshing

A field-enriched finite element method for crack propagation in fiber-reinforced composite lamina without remeshing is proposed. In the field-enriched finite element method, the propagation and evolution of cracks are controlled by fracture criteria, and the physical location of cracks and the influence on the whole model are realized by the field variables enriched at the nodes. Then, field-enriched finite element method is used to investigate...
