Extended Finite Element and Meshfree Methods
Auteurs : Rabczuk Timon, Song Jeong-Hoon, Zhuang Xiaoying, Anitescu Cosmin
Extended Finite Element and Meshfree Methods provides an overview of, and investigates, recent developments in extended finite elements with a focus on applications to material failure in statics and dynamics. This class of methods is ideally suited for applications, such as crack propagation, two-phase flow, fluid-structure-interaction, optimization and inverse analysis because they do not require any remeshing. These methods include the original extended finite element method, smoothed extended finite element method (XFEM), phantom node method, extended meshfree methods, numerical manifold method and extended isogeometric analysis.
This book also addresses their implementation and provides small MATLAB codes on each sub-topic. Also discussed are the challenges and efficient algorithms for tracking the crack path which plays an important role for complex engineering applications.
Jeong-Hoon Song is Assistant Professor of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering and faculty member of Materials Science and Engineering Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. He received a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Northwestern University in 2008 and has worked in the area of computational mechanics and physics of solids to develop new computational methods and algorithms for various multiscale/multiphysics phenomena. He has authored over 45 peer-reviewed journal publications and two book chapters and has presented over 70 research lectures at national and international conferences, seminars, and workshops.
Xiaoying Zhuang is Associate Professor at the Institute of Continuum Mechanics at Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. She has been developing computational methods for two-dimensional and three-dimensional fracture problems using partition-of-unity methods, including meshfree methods, the extended finite element method (XFEM), the phantom node and finite cover method, and multiscale methods. She is on the editorial boards of international journals including Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, and Engineering Geology.
