## Abstract In this paper, the extended finite element method (XβFEM) is investigated for the solution of hydraulic fracture problems. The presence of an internal pressure inside the crack is taken into account. Special tip functions encapsulating tip asymptotics typically encountered in hydraulic

In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used for a discrete crack simulation of concrete using an adaptive crack growth algorithm. Different criteria for predicting the direction of the extension of a cohesive crack are investigated in the context of the XFEM. The robustness of t
## Abstract A twoβdimensional numerical model of microstructural effects in brittle fracture is presented, with an aim towards the understanding of toughening mechanisms in polycrystalline materials such as ceramics. Quasiβstatic crack propagation is modelled using the extended finite element metho
A new technique for the finite element modeling of crack growth with frictional contact on the crack faces is presented. The eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) is used to discretize the equations, allowing for the modeling of cracks whose geometry are independent of the finite element mesh. This
In this study, a numerical model based on the finite element method incorporating an arc-length solution algorithm for materially and geometrically nonlinear analysis of concrete beams prestressed with external tendons is established. The second-order effects are taken into account. The effects of e
