General Consistency of Strong Discontinuity Kinematics in Embedded Finite Element Method (E-FEM) Formulations
This paper performs an in-depth study of the theoretical basis behind the strong discontinuity methods to improve local fracture simulations using the Embedded Finite Element Method (E-FEM). The process starts from a review of the elemental enhancement functions found in current E-FEM literature, pr...
