Phononic crystals can be designed to show band gaps—ranges of frequencies whose
propagation is strongly attenuated in the material. In essence, their working principle is …

This paper is a state-of-the-art review of computational damage and fracture mechanics
methods applied to model ductile fracture at the microscale. An emphasis is made on robust …

This paper integrates an efficient numerical framework with robust and accurate constitutive
equations to study transverse behavior and multiple cracking of cross-ply fiber-reinforced …

Deformable fractured porous media appear in many geoscience applications. While the
extended finite element method (XFEM) has been successfully developed within the …

Abstract The Hierarchical Interface-enriched Finite Element Method (HIFEM) is a technique
for solving problems containing discontinuities in the field gradient using finite element …

In this manuscript, we expand the conforming to interface structured adaptive mesh
refinement (CISAMR) algorithm for modeling complex two-dimensional (2D) crack growth …

An immersed enriched finite element method is proposed for the analysis of phononic
crystals (PnCs) with finite element (FE) meshes that are completely decoupled from …

This manuscript presents a shape sensitivity analysis method based on an Interface-

A new enriched finite element technique, named the Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element
Method (DE-FEM), was introduced recently for solving problems with both weak and strong …

In this paper, we propose a novel computational formulation capable of solving the problem
of material softening and the emerging localisation of strains in spatial frame-like structure, a …
