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

Two novel techniques have been applied to the problem of determining the fracture toughness of polyethylene appropriate to the situation of rapid crack propagation in pipe systems. Agreement is found between the data from the two methods used for evaluating four grades of polyethylene of widely diff
