Recently developments in numerical methods such as the Extended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) and the Extended Boundary Element Method (X-BEM) have significantly improved the accuracy in linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) problems. Nevertheless... Read More about A direct SIF approach for anisotropic materials using the boundary element method.

We introduce an alternative method in computational fracture mechanics to evaluate Stress Intensity Factors (SIFs) directly using the Extended Dual Boundary Element Method (XBEM) for 2D problems. Like other enrichment approaches, the new approach is... Read More about A direct evaluation of stress intensity factors using the Extended Dual Boundary Element Method.
