An improved finite element method for cracks with multiple branches
The conventional finite element method is improved to tackle complex cracks with multiple branches. The parasitic nodes are introduced to the nodes whose nodal support is completely cut by the crack surfaces, while the nodes whose supports contain crack tips inside are accordingly enriched by the cr...
