Descripción
A comparative study on finite elements for capturing strong discontinuities by means of elemental (E-FEM) or nodal enrichments (XFEM) is presented. Based on the same constitutive model (continuum damage) and linear elements (triangles and tetrahedra) optimized implementations of both types of enrichments in the same non-linear code are tested for a representative set of 2D and 3D crack propagation examples. It is shown that both methods provide the same qualitative and quantitative results for enough refined meshes. For the performed tests, E-FEM exhibited, in general, a higher accuracy, mostly for coarse meshes, whereas, convergence rate with mesh refinement, which is super-linear, showed slightly higher for X-FEM. As for the computational costs for single crack modelling X-FEM showed, depending on the case, from 1.1 to about 2.5 times more expensive than E-FEM. For multiple cracks, the computational cost of E-FEM keeps constant, whereas the cost associated to X-FEM increases linearly with the number of modelled cracks.
