3D Ductile crack propagation with the XFEM
Abstract
Ductile fracture is of high interest for industrial Manufacturing. Here we attempt to model this material degradation with a combined approach of non-local continuum damage mechanics and discrete fracture mechanics using the eXtended Finite Element Method.
