Abstract

Extended finite element method (XFEM) is a novel numerical method developed in recent years, which belongs to the extension of the traditional finite element method. It has the special advantage compared to traditional finite element method, and has higher accuracy and efficiency to solve the discontinuous fracture problem. In this paper, major factors in the process of crack propagation are discussed, the basic principle for XFEM and its application in crack growth are reviewed. Besides, further development of this method is proposed.
