This important textbook provides an introduction to the concepts of the newly developed extended finite element method (XFEM) for fracture analysis of structures, as well as for other related engineering applications. One of the main advantages of the method is that it avoids any need for rem

## Abstract The extended finite element method (XFEM) is applied to the simulation of thermally stressed, cracked solids. Both thermal and mechanical fields are enriched in the XFEM way in order to represent discontinuous temperature, heat flux, displacement, and traction across the crack surface,
Eight finite element test cases were produced for two-dimensional linear elastic fracture mechanics benchmark tests. All the finite element meshes were constructed with eight noded quadratic elements and the crack tip elements were modelled with the appropriate stress singularity using collapsed eig
