This book describes the basics and developments of the new XFEMapproach to fracture analysis of composite structures andmaterials. It provides state of the art techniques and algorithmsfor fracture analysis of structures including numeric examples atthe end of each chapter as well as an accompanying website whichwill include MATLAB resources, executables, data files, andsimulation procedures of XFEM.
* The first reference text for the extended finite element method(XFEM) for fracture analysis of structures and materials
* Includes theory and applications, with worked numericalproblems and solutions, and MATLAB examples on an accompanyingwebsite with further XFEM resources
* Provides a comprehensive overview of this new area of research,including a review of Fracture Mechanics, basic through to advancedXFEM theory, as well as current problems and applications
* Includes a chapter on the future developments in the field, newresearch areas and possible future applications of the method
