Based on the energy foundation of the path-independent integral in non-linear fracture mechanics, I\* integral as the dual form of Rice's J is presented, it is also path-independent and is equivalent to J in value but it relates to the complementary energy. It is proved that, in numerical implementa

## 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,
In a recent paper' the convergence of various finite element models was studied using the following procedure : 1. A finite element molecule is obtained algebraically for a representative nodal point i which involves the values of the function at surrounding nodes along with parameters characterizi
In this paper a family of higher-order quadrilaterals for the finite element analysis of plane elasticity problems are developed, using the displacement method formulation. The number of nodes and the number of elements are fixed, and refinement is achieved by adding derivatives of the nodal displac
